As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Rio enjoys working with children under 12 years of age. After graduating from Texas A&M with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Rio returned to her home of Houston to attend the University of Houston. There, she completed her Masters of Education in Counseling. Rio obtained experience and skills working with children in both an individual and group capacity at a private psychologist’s office in Houston. Since completing her education and licensure, Rio has witnessed the impact that early intervention can have in truly transforming children and families‘ lives. 

Rio has experience working with children and their families in a variety of areas including Anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, emotional/behavioral concerns, and sibling relationships. She is looking forward to continue to serve children and families as a clinician with Ethos Wellness.
