I am the Founder and Clinical Director of San Antonio Art Therapy, where I've been offering outpatient services, wellness workshops, and educational trainings since 2020. My experience includes roles in various educational and clinical settings including creating the first art therapy program in a local school district. In addition to my therapeutic practice, it's a personal and professional mission to contribute to San Antonio's awareness of art therapy and its local growth through lectures, presentations, and workshops. This work extends to community involvement as a planning and development team member of local arts organizations, facilitator of the first local American Parkinson's Disease Association Connecting through Art class in San Antonio, and wellness based art/nature experientials with the Land Heritage Institute. I have participated on civic artist grant panels and led other community-focused projects with human service organizations.
