About

I am a bilingual (Spanish & English) and Bi-cultural (Mexican American) Licensed Professional Counselor based in Houston Texas. Over the past ten years, I have gone from community organizing, coaching, and teaching, to now a Counselor with full licensure. I have worked in community agencies and educational fields from elementary schools to college campuses and also see clients in my private practice. These setting have helped me gain experience working with a wide variety of issues for a diverse population of clients. My strengths include working with teenagers and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, multicultural issues, systematic oppression, and transitional issues related to adulthood. I also help people with LGBTQ+ concerns, unhealthy relationships, systematic trauma, racist experiences, microagressions, discrimination, and immigration issues.

My counseling approach can be described best as teamwork. I believe our ability to communicate and establish a healthy relationship as a team is key to our success. You are the expert on your life. I am the therapist that gets the opportunity to walk with you as we learn new ways for you to cope. Our expertise combined helps us grow. I am interactive, open to feedback, motivating, empowering, patient, and enjoy using humor when appropriate. I love being a counselor because I see it as an opportunity to help people find new ways of coping to empower them to move forward with their goals. I have strengths based, trauma informed, and social justice lens. I use feminist and liberation approaches as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy techniques. I will always draw from various approaches to fit the unique needs of every individual.

I look forward to working with you!
