I entered the mental health world to explore my passion for supporting people to identify their mental health goals.

My Therapy Style

After earning my Master's degree in Social Work with an Emphasis on Hispanic culture at Our Lady of the Lake University, I entered the mental health world to explore my passion for supporting people to identify their mental health goals. I have the opportunity to work with a variety of people, meeting them in the community where they are, in an outpatient setting, inpatient setting, and correctional setting. I have experience with providing group therapy as well as individual therapy.
