My approach incorporates different modalities that are strength-based, client-centered, and mindful based to help you live a meaningful life and create lasting personal changes.
I've had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, with individuals, couples, and families experiencing different challenges. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, and to walk together to heal, to unlock your potential, and to achieve your goals. Being from a different country has become a strength in my practice to naturally be culturally sensitive in my sessions and to have more meaningful interactions with my clients of different backgrounds.

My approach with clients is eclectic but I focus on strength-based practices and guide myself with Existentialist theory.
Hello and thank you for the opportunity to learn about me. I have had the honor to work with people who are learning how to adjust in their present life and heal from past and current trauma. Making the decision to take the first step towards change is often scary and intimidating, but it's ok! Everyone has overcome obstacles in life and many haven't realized they've done so, overseeing their own strengths and abilities. I am also fully bilingual and have enjoyed working with the Latin/Hispanic community.

I am your OCD and anxiety specialist in The Woodlands, Texas. I work with individuals who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Phobias, and general anxiety. Our fears and subsequent behaviors, begin with distressing and intrusive thoughts. In order to feel safe and find relief, we do we what we can to make the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings go away. You may find yourself engaging in ritualistic behaviors such as avoidance, reassurance seeking, overt behaviors, and even mental compulsions. But many times, our solutions do not break the cycle and our anxiety worsens.

Strength-Based Therapists

How does strength-based therapy work?

During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.

Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?

Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.

How long does strength-based therapy last?

There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.

How effective is strength-based therapy?

Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
