I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas with 5 years of experience providing mental health services to various populations, to include youth and adults. I specialize in substance use, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, family conflict and coping skills. My counseling style is empathetic and client centered. I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I look forward to working with you.

HOPE is what initiates change. Imagine a life where your family was no longer defined by your child's trauma, fear, sadness, guilt, shame, or anger. What a freeing experience that would be! An individual can only be as happy as their least happy loved one- as hurt occurs within the context of relationships, so does healing. Hoping for a stable, safe, and happy family is what marks readiness for therapy. Little people with big problems may effortlessly grow into big people with bigger problems, so the critical nature of childhood and adolescence provides opportunity to shift this life trajectory.

Life is full of storms. The ebbs and flows they bring can leave anyone feeling shipwrecked. My role as a counselor is a grounding one, to equip and enable you to see through the darkness, light. Together we pursue truth, beauty, and lasting freedom.

I have been working as a healing professional for 31 years. This work has always been more a vocation – or calling – than a career. It all began formally when I entered religious training in 1986. As with many of us, the direction my life has taken initially grew out of the crucible of my developmental years and my temperament (both biological and psychological). My early circumstances, relationships, consequent interests, spirituality and education have all contributed something to my therapeutic perspective and practice. Foremost among these are perhaps an open, inquisitive heart-mind and a longing to facilitate healing.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychotherapist. For 20 years, I have been helping individuals, couples and families with issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and adjustment. I understand the importance of identifying the underlying causes of symptoms to bring about lasting change and I am committed to helping my clients throughout the process while fostering a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment. My education and clinical experience allow me to tailor clinical interventions to the particular needs of each client by drawing from different therapeutic modalities.

Are you a teen or young adult who overthinks, worries too much, has difficulty focusing because of stress, or fears you're falling behind? Do college, choosing a career path, managing relationships or life transitions feel overwhelming? The pressure to be attractive, fit in, feel understood, earn top grades, and get into the best schools are hard on teens. Choosing a career path, interviewing, living on your own or supporting yourself, or making big relationship decisions can feel scary as a young adult. You don’t have to go this alone. I help people just like you through these challenges.

Asking for help is a hard thing to do. It is made harder when we believe that doing so makes us weak or different or wrong. However, I believe that asking for what we need takes strength and is an important form of caring for ourselves. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or challenges of navigating life transitions, therapy can provide a unique and powerful opportunity to be deeply known by yourself and another.

You want to live the truth and fullness of who you are, but somehow you question your worthiness and struggle to find your authentic voice. It seems your key relationships or life circumstances encourage you to deny, hide, or diminish who you are. Perfectionism, people pleasing, performing, and the need to control have taken over your life, and the stress is causing pain and dis-ease. Often you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and burdened by life’s demands. Or you’re depressed and disconnected from yourself and others or angry and out of control, numbing to get by. Let me help you regain your center and move forward, authentically.

I strive to empower the people that I work with. Further, I believe that the people that I work with are more of an expert on their own lives and experiences than anyone else is. My aim is to provide a space for people's unique strengths and gifts to emerge. I have extensive experience in working with diverse individuals, relationships, and families, and I strive to ensure that everyone feels heard and validated.

I specialize in RODBT treatment. Do you find it hard to relax or turn off your mind? Or maybe you are normally high achiever and feel like your goals have taken a nose dive lately? Possibly you feel lonely and like no one really gets you?

Navigating the decision to engage in the therapeutic process can feel overwhelming and intimidating. However, the journey can be one of great reward. Treatment begins with an understanding of you as a unique individual; through collaboration as well as active engagement the process of individual, couple, family, or group therapy evolves. Therapy includes exploration of your past and present relationships, experiences, and struggles so that a deeper understanding of self can be achieved. Greater self-awareness allows for the opportunity to make intentional choices, increased confidence in your authentic self, and navigation of future struggles in an effective way.

Therapy is an investment in your personal growth and a dedication to your overall well-being. Therapy can help us identify our strengths and personal successes, and help to explore our areas of growth. I work to provide a trusting, warm, open, and supportive relationship for my clients. Understanding our past and our current life patterns fosters internal growth, so we can understand ourselves on a deeper level, create emotional well-being, and move towards contentment with ourselves and our lives. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership between the client and the therapist, and is based on trust, and respect.
