Thank you for visiting my site and taking the first step to a more fulfilled you!! You will learn more about me during our initial discovery chat but here is just a snapshot of who I am and why I love what I do. My desire to serve others began while serving in the Army. I discovered that the most rewarding part of being in the Army was helping soldiers and underserved members of the surrounding community grow personally and professionally. My passion for serving my community grew in 2018 when I retired after 26 years of service, moved to San Antonio, and dedicated myself to helping children in need. I became a licensed therapeutic foster parent caring for children who struggled to find a home due to advanced mental, emotional, and physical challenges. As a foster parent, I noticed the need for caring advocates extended past my front door, so I began my journey to become a social worker. As a licensed master-level social worker (LMSW), a graduate of Our Lady of the Lake University's Master of Social Work program (MSW) and the University of Texas-El Paso's Master of Leadership Studies (MLS), I love using my lifetime of knowledge, experience, and critical thinking skills to help people break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life is way too short to be bogged down in uncertainty, unhappiness, and anxiety about the future. I am here to walk with you on your journey to achieve a more positive outlook on life and provide you with the tools necessary to get there. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your greatness.
