Supervised By: Liliana St. Clair, LPC-S

I believe in the power of kindness, compassion, authenticity, and deep respect for each individual’s feelings and perspective — both in counseling and everyday life. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UTSA and am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC Associate), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP).

At Desta Therapy, I provide counseling for young adults, adults, and seniors navigating a range of challenges, including:

- Anxiety and depression
- Bipolar disorder and emotional regulation
- Grief and trauma
- Addiction and recovery support
- Relationship issues and life transitions
- Feeling “stuck” or lacking direction

Using a strengths-based, person-centered approach, I help clients uncover their inner resilience and develop practical strategies for change. Whether you're facing emotional struggles or seeking personal growth, we work together to reconnect you with your internal compass — your guide to greater balance, peace, and self-understanding.

Outside of counseling, I’m also a musician, writer, gardener, and creative thinker. I love bringing creativity and humor into the therapy space, especially when working with fellow creatives and artists.
