Spanish bilingual, multifaceted, open-minded, understanding, & w/ extensive background in Acculturation, Criminal Justice, Counterterrorism, Immigration, & Psychology. Over 10 years of working w/ all ages, cultures, & sub-cultures in Arizona & Nevada. Services to come to Texas as well soon.
As a flexible & integrative therapist, I combine several schools of psychology, such as ACT, CBT, DBT, Environmental, Existential, PsychoEducational, Solution Focused, & NeuroDivercity Movement theories to name a few; all with the goals of growth, empowerment, & self-improvement in mind.
Daily life can be a constant challenge, especially when we may not have had the support, education, nor guidance from healthier minded individuals. Individualization & Empowerment for our lives, today & our future through an integrative approach, could work to improve your skills & your daily experience one session at a time.

Most of my clients see a gradual improvement within themselves. They establish an inward sense of self-worth & confidence, while lessening the severity & existence of their unwanted symptoms. They develop healthier coping mechanisms, balance life skills, through applying healthier thoughts, emotions, and actions that as a result improve their daily life as they continue to achieve their goals.
