My BackgroundIn 2006 I received my Master’s degree in social work from Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas . I received my license in clinical social worker in 2011, Texas license # 42218, and my chemical dependency counselor license in 2012, Texas license # 11655.
I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist and board approved clinical supervisor, providing supervision toward licensing. I have been in practice for 15 years and have extensive experience in cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy. |
My specialty is in emerging adult, college student mental health and the mental health needs of international students.
My belief is that a successful therapeutic relationship is vital to building trust, enhancing your personal strengths and mobilizes for change in your life. You can expect me to listen to your questions and answer them to the best of my ability and to respect your opinions and decisions. I will cooperatively assist you in clarifying your goals for treatment and provide you with a written treatment plan outlining objectives and treatment methods. |
My Community
|
San Marcos, Texas has been my home for over a decade. I am deeply committed to this community. I enjoy swimming in the San Marcos river, hiking the many trails, evenings on the historic square and shopping the farmer's market. Not only have I proudly served as a board member for the City of San Marcos' Human Services Advisory Committee, but I enjoy teaching social work at Texas State University. I also provide outreach education to various social service agencies in our community.
As a Texas native, who grew up in Switzerland in a bi-cultural, tri-lingual Swiss-American home, I learned at an early age to transcend boundaries in a rapidly changing world. My professional and personal experience has taught me to deeply respect and appreciate the diversity of the human experience and value the importance of this diversity in contributing to creating a compassionate, productive, non-discriminatory community.
