Yo soy una terapeuta bilingüe y proporcionó terapia en español e inglés. Es un privilegio poder proporcionar servicios terapéuticos en el idioma que sea más cómodo para ti. Tengo experiencia trabajando con adolecentes y adultos, algunos que an vivido con traumas complejos, violencia domestica, abuso sexual, depresion, ansiedad, y mas.

Mi experiencia incluye trabajo con la comunidad Queer/Trans, comunidades multilingües, problemas de identidad interseccionales, estrés cultural/aculturativo, desarrollo de identidad y con la comunidad Latinx/e. Creo en un enfoque holístico de la terapia que se basa en la atención plena centrada en la persona, culturalmente sensible y en una perspectiva sistemática. Mi papel es encontrarte en el punto en el que te encuentras en el proceso, de una manera no crítica y positiva hacia los objetivos o cambios que visualizas como posibles.

Hay momentos en la vida cuando nos sentimos atascados. Sin importanr cuanto tratamos de liberarnos, terminamos sintiéndonos solos y sin esperanza. Juntos podemos encontrar aquello que esta en la raíz de estas sensaciones y situaciones. Trabajaremos en detectar y procesar experiencias pasadas dolorosas mientras cultivamos recursos internos para sentirnos mas en control de nosotros mismos y mejor. Ayudo a individuos a encontrarse a si mismos y a romper los ciclos de relacionamiento negativo hacia una conexión profunda con otros. Ayudo a parejas encontrar una forma diferente de rlacionarse cultivando seguridad y conexion emocional

​¿Te gustaría sanar experiencias dolorosas, expander tu consciencia y vivir plenamente en el momento presente? Yo ofrezco consejeria holística a personas que estén listas para explorar la posibilidad de transformar obstáculos en oportunidades y así poder construir la vida que desean. La psicoterapia o consejeria holística trata a la persona en su totalidad, como un todo; es decir, va más allá de la terapia tradicional que por lo general se enfoca ampliamente en el nivel mental/cognitivo del ser humano. Para solucionar el problema de raíz, juntas trabajamos a niveles psico-espirituales, psico-emocionales y psico-corporales profundos.

When overwhelm, trauma, relationships, illness, and transitions impact us it can be difficult to navigate life. I offer an authentic, compassionate, and experienced presence to help you connect with wellbeing and possibilities. I welcome your full self.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with school, work, children, or just life in general? Has life changed unexpectedly? Is past trauma preventing you from experiencing life to its fullest? Have you been dealing with feelings of sadness or hopelessness that do not seem to go away? Do you feel isolated or misunderstood? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, just know, you are not alone. We all encounter a time when we feel insecure, overwhelmed, scared, or even lost. Sometimes these issues can become unbearable, but with the right tools and a strong ally, we can grow and heal in ways that we never thought possible.

I am a psychotherapist, licensed professional counselor and drama therapist with 16 years' experience working with individuals, couples, families and groups. In this time frame I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of populations, such as people diagnosed with major depressive disorder, dual diagnosis, bi-polar disorder, borderline personality disorder and eating disorders. I also have experience working with immigrants and minority groups,individuals who experienced trauma, as well as people seeking for growth, personal development and more meaning in their lives. I am fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Sometimes what has happened in our past can strongly affect our present moods and behaviors. I utilize a trauma-focused approach in the therapy that I practice. I enjoy working with culturally diverse client populations. As a United States Army retired veteran with over 20 years of service, I also have extensive experience in working with military populations. I am a trauma informed, bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor.

Although beautiful, life can bring chaos and moments of pain sometimes creating mental, emotional and spiritual wounds. Therapy can be a space to tend to those wounds finding strength in our adversity. I support clients by exploring their experiences integrating relational healing, spirituality, and grief work with the goal of overcoming hardships making space for more joy, wellness, and love.

Being a responsible adult and managing all the demands of your day to day life can take a toll on your energy and mood. Many of us, even those who “should be OK, and have it all” get by with a bare minimum of reserve and just function or survive. I want to help you get to “thrive”, to free up that energy that is locked in the past, in the stories we tell ourselves that are not updated with our strengths and growth, and our difficulties and traumas. This will allow you be more present in the day to day and have a fuller, more joyful life.

Feelings and sensations are housed in our bodies. This is why the body in motion is our best tool to process life experiences, relieve stress, gain clarity and connect to your authentic self. If you are looking to develop a relationship with yourself and understand your own patterns as they show up in your life, I can help. Our bodies are wise and through movement, one can access parts of themselves that simply cannot be accessed verbally alone.

I believe in counseling through compassion, authenticity, dedication, and perspective. Together we can work to find health and balance in all facets of your life; where you can transcend from pain into empowerment. Whether you are in search of stress management, lifestyle changes, or looking for relief from a more serious issue, this service is designed to provide individual counseling services for adults.

I would be delighted to explore with you whatever brings you to therapy at this time in your life. If you are struggling with a life transition, stress, or symptoms of depression or anxiety, we can work together with curiosity and compassion to help you develop the skills necessary to tolerate difficult emotions and situations in the present moment while helping you reconnect to your own vitality. If you are feeling stuck and unsure how the future will unfold, I would be honored to help you learn to embrace uncertainty while creating a meaningful, authentic life.

At Austin Bilingual Therapy, you will find a safe and trusting place to explore your concerns. Through nurturing, curiosity and playfulness, you will become aware of what keeps you from believing, feeling or doing what you want to reach in life. I see myself as a companion to you or to your family and children in this journey that is life. I feel honored that you are choosing me to be a witness to your growth as an individual, parent, child, sibling, and partner.

Grief is something we all face in life, but each person experiences it differently. Sometimes it’s due to the death of a loved one. Other times, however, it’s due to the loss of your country, your health, your plans for a family, or another important pillar of your life. You may be finding that this feels much different than you expected it to—rather than just feeling sad, you feel angry, impatient, constantly on edge. You’re tired of people telling you “they know how you feel” (they don’t) or that you’re “so strong” (you don’t feel that way). Your world has been permanently changed, and you’re not sure how to move forward.

Life is everchanging. My clients are experiencing challenges that require them to change in order to go forward. Some clients are interested in dreams and personal growth over time. Others want some immediate support to help them sort out the difficulties they currently face: whether it be the loss of a relationship, a career, a difficult illness, or some other major change in one's orientation to life. I have a depth and breadth of experience working with people of all stripes and in both law and social work: that is, people who have been stuck in some very difficult places. I value individuality and wholeness--not perfection.

I am experienced at helping to transform depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addictions, and other struggles through a variety of active techniques: Psychodynamic therapy with a Jungian orientation, expressive arts therapy, imago therapy for couples, action methods for groups, and mindfulness processes. With leaders and organizations, I use a dynamic set of processes that help to transform conflict and develop emotional intelligence and authenticity. I also am a licensed LPC supervisor and train facilitators to use these techniques with their clients.
