Introduction

Are you feeling disconnected in your relationship, struggling with past trauma, or facing challenges within your family? I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern based in San Antonio, offering trauma-informed care for individuals, couples, and families. Using a postmodern, client-centered approach, I work collaboratively to help you move toward healing, growth, and stronger connections. I am a Prepare/Enrich Certified Facilitator, passionate about supporting couples through premarital counseling, infidelity recovery, communication issues, and rebuilding trust. I also have specialized experience helping clients impacted by domestic violence, substance abuse, and family trauma. I believe therapy should honor your story and empower you to create meaningful change. At Desta Therapy, we prioritize a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and build resilience. Whether you're seeking couples therapy, family therapy, or individual counseling, I am here to walk with you on your journey.
