About Me

Hello and thank you for considering me to assist you in whatever journey life has brought you. The teen years can be a turbulent time, and even more so in un predictable times. Therapy is a great tool to discover how all the changes impact us, so we can make decisions that are line with our personal integrity and make the best choices for our future. Sometimes making sense of everything requires a dialog to give us new perspectives.

I completed the Master's in Social Work program with a minor in Alcohol and Other Drugs. Within about two years of graduating, I became clinically licensed in New Mexico and the next year in Texas. I have 15 years of experience in child, family, and child group therapy. Much of my work time has been with military families. This clinical experience exposed me to working with many people from all over the world with a variety of cultural backgrounds. I have worked with children in a multitude of life transitions, such as relocation, relationships, preparing for the next stage of becoming an adult, coming out as LGBTQIA, and substance abuse. Approaches in treatment are a combination of strengths-based, cognitive behavioral therapy, relationship dynamic approaches, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, and more. Applying a variety of approaches in treatment are necessary because no therapy is suitable for how dynamic we are as human beings.

The goal of treatment is to show clients they have the skills and internal resources to meet their personal goals. It is just at times we need to process our thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a neutral and non-judgmental environment.

Ona has helped me have a positive breakthrough with an addictive behavior I struggle with. She helped me to approach my issues from a very cerebral and scientific standpoint, which resonates with me in a way other approaches have not. She is warm and engaging and very genuine. I have benefited greatly from our work together.
