Hi, if you're like many of my clients, you're hoping to find a therapist who has worked with your kind of worries before, will listen without passing judgement and can offer a safe place to process as well as get some concrete tools to help you feel better. My clients often describe struggling with communication or compromise in relationships, hurting from a big loss, frustration with their kid's problems, feeling anxious, or having a hard time at work. Most of my clients want a therapist who is warm, authentic, can explain the "why" behind their "what" and is willing to engage, not just observe.

I have been practicing as a therapist for more than 5 years and I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I work with adolescents 12+ and with adults of all ages. In addition to individual therapy, I also work with couples and families on a wide variety of topics. I like to say that I had a “short,” 14 year career in the Air Force before deciding to become a social worker. After separating from the Air Force, I attended UT Austin and earned my MSSW in my journey to becoming a licensed social worker. In addition to being a practicing therapist, I have also worked in medical social work and case management.

Growing up in South Texas, I have strong roots in Mexican and Tejano culture. I moved to Austin to attend St. Edwards University and graduated in 2009 with a Bachelors of Art in Psychology. After graduation, I became a special education teacher. After working in education for 10 years, I returned to school and received my Masters of Art in School Counseling. My experience includes working as a school counselor providing social emotional learning to students. As a counselor, my approach is to support adults and youth in building positive coping skills through CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, art therapy and Mindfulness.

My primary therapeutic methods are Solution Focused, CBT. Trauma Focused, Client Centered Mindfulness and Positive Phycology. Culturally, social, racial and economic status considered, and my client has a voice in therapy. I also provide identity work and life transitions, especially for single parents, college students and newly retired. I also have Women of Color groups and women wellness retreats.

Do you struggle in your personal relationships? Have you been in multiple relationships that went a little too quickly? Are you looking for external gratification instead of working from within? Have you experienced a car accident, being domestically abused, and or anything that was traumatic for YOU? If any of these questions resonated with you give me a call. I specialize in anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and trauma. We live in a world full of invalidation and sometimes all it takes to feel better is to be validated. Giving yourself one hour per week or per month will give you the ability to look within.
