Reaching out can be difficult but so worthwhile. Counseling can help us gain a better understanding of our challenges and move us towards change. I provide hands-on tools and strategies to address daily struggles while also working towards making connections and gaining insight to change existing patterns. Together we can identify what behavior is no longer working and identify new ways to manage your life. I provide a space that feels inclusive, non-judgmental, and safe. I am available for a free 15 minute consultation call. I can be reached via email, phone, and text.

I have spent over 30 years in the field of counseling. I have worked in various settings including schools, county mental health, corporate consulting, and university counseling centers. One of my passions is focusing on self-esteem and resilience with girls and women. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy in addition to other modalities including EMDR.

I strive to provide an open and supportive environment in order to build a collaborative working relationship. I work towards creating an environment where you will feel listened to and valued. I am a Latinx licensed psychologist and I welcome working with diverse groups. I am licensed in both Texas and California and PSYPACT eligible in 42 other states.
