Seeking support can feel overwhelming, and I know that starting therapy is not always easy. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can take a breath, be yourself, and talk openly about what you are carrying.
I’m passionate about helping people work through life’s challenges with compassion and practical support. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, low self-esteem, or feeling emotionally stuck, I strive to meet you where you are. I want patients to feel heard, supported, and empowered as they move toward healing and growth.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner that is interested in providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health care services through psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. I come from a strong nursing background, with over 10 years of experience working with clients experiencing changes to their mental and physical health in both outpatient and inpatient settings. My educational background includes a Master of Science from the University of Texas Health Science Center of Houston, Cizik School of Nursing and a Bachelor of Science in nursing from Texas Tech University Health Science Center.
with 15 years of experience in mental health, I lead a muti-clinician practice of caring professionals dedicated to providing personable, compassionate, solution focused, care. My staff and I take pride in providing services through meaningful connection and research driven approaches.
Hi, I'm Emily. I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor. I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, anger management, PTSD, and alcohol or substance use. Many of the people I work with are looking not just for relief, but for a deeper understanding of themselves and why they feel the way they do, and how to create lasting change. Whether you’re facing daily stressors, working through past experiences, or trying to regain a sense of control, therapy can be a space to slow down, process, and begin moving forward.
My hometown is San Antonio, Texas, where I earned my undergraduate degree from Our Lady of the Lake University and my graduate degree from Texas A&M University. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including schools, community agencies, hospitals, and emergency shelters, supporting people from various backgrounds and life experiences.
Much of my work has been with individuals navigating trauma and substance use, and I understand how heavy and isolating those experiences can feel.
Outside of my work, I enjoy reading, movies and spending time with my family and our dog. I also understand how complex life can be—balancing responsibilities, relationships, and expectations—and I bring that understanding into the space we share.
If you’re thinking about starting therapy, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
I’ve spent over 22 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, helping people just like you navigate life’s biggest challenges. I'm licensed in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.
My personal belief is therapy is a space for growth, discovery, and healing. It’s a brave step, and I’m here to guide you.
Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious or depressed. Maybe you're working through a difficult loss or a past trauma. Whatever brings you here, we'll work together to find a path that feels right for you.
You will set the pace and the agenda of our sessions. One week we may work on day to day obstacles. The next week, we may work on past issues and traumas. It's YOUR TIME!
It’s not always easy to talk about what you’re dealing with, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. I work with adults, children, and teens who are navigating stress, emotional challenges, and life situations that feel hard to manage alone. For adults, this might look like anger that comes out unexpectedly, difficulty expressing emotions, pressure to stay strong, or feeling disconnected in relationships. For children and teens, it can show up as behavioral issues, school struggles, or difficulty managing big emotions.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker and therapist with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I'm passionate about supporting people in navigating life's storms, connecting with what matters most to them, and living meaningful, fulfilling lives.
I especially enjoy working with:
