Former Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, once wrote, “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” As a mental health therapist associate from South Texas, I realize that therapy goes beyond the diagnosis realm and into a wider space of understanding, attunement, and healing. Renowned physician, Gabor Mate asserted that healing does not rely on getting rid of the pain but in increasing one’s capacity to be resilient to it. I honor you as a human, with many parts and crevices that showcase your authentic self. My approach is geared toward helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered; Be Here Now.
I am Trauma-Trained and use holistic, creative, and evidence-based modalities with both individual and cultural identities in mind. I specialize in DBT/CBT (Mindfulness), Logotherapy, SFT (Solution/Strengths focused therapy), Trauma/ Social Justice Informed Therapy, Somatic Therapy (Movement, Yoga, Breathwork), Expressive Arts/ Music and Holistic Wellness.
I: offer Teletherapy(online) services, refer to you as my client not my patient, see you as an expert in your lived experiences and view us as a team, strive to destigmatize and decolonize therapy, share a cozy space to help you feel safe and welcomed, allow my personality to shine through, and invite you to show up as your authentic self as well.
