About

Welcome! I always tell clients that it is equally important for them to know as much information about their therapist so they feel comfortable to work with me. Honesty and transparency are valuable in therapy, and I know that it sets the foundation for a good therapeutic relationship. To begin, I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for the past 14 years and have worked in a variety of settings including private practice, local mental health agencies, hospitals, and university settings. I have experience in helping clients with depression, postpartum depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and women related issues especially motherhood. I specialize in targeting family of origin issues which means I find it valuable to understand where patterns in your life come from and the life experiences that impact you still today. I use a solution focused and narrative therapy approach, always seeking client strengths and personal successes to help them write the next chapter in their life. I have helped clients of all ages including individuals, couples, and families. I earned a Doctorate of Philosophy in Family Therapy in 2018 from Texas Woman's University and I earned a Master's of Science in Professional Counseling from Texas Wesleyan University in 2006.

My therapy style is warm and collaborative. I am Mexican-American and I know the importance of treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I listen to every person's unique story as if I am hearing it for the first time, and I know how to be culturally sensitive so that I can tailor our work and treatment goals to meet your specific needs.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and though you may be feeling momentarily stuck, I know that together we can find ways to fulfill your best hopes. Thank you for confidently taking the first step and I look forward to being a small part of your journey!
