I learned early on that I had unique qualities and skills (high levels of empathy and compassion, ability to listen and care for others, insight and self-reflection) and that I wanted to help others. I discovered the field of social work at The University of Texas in Austin by accident and found that it was a great fit for me. After working in the field for many years in a variety of settings (inpatient, residential, hospital, school, non-profit) and roles (mentor, case manager, group therapist, program director, clinician), I decided to open my own practice so I could do more of the type of work that I love.
