Teletherapy for Rice Military - Houston, TX

You think to yourself, "I don't know who I am anymore." The loneliness is wearing you down, and the feelings of being unappreciated, unloved, and misunderstood are overwhelming. It's just exhausting. Responsibilities keep piling up, and sometimes you fantasize about just running away from it all. But instead, you shut down. You crave a place where your voice is heard and you are seen. Are you ready to feel like yourself again?

Sometimes, our stressful thoughts can become overwhelming and become taxing in our day to day experiences. I help people get "unstuck". I am passionate about working with the Hispanic/ Latin community. I can help with navigating challenging or conflicting cultural and familial differences. If you find yourself in a tough situation, starting to lose sleep, stuck in negative thoughts, and feeling like you are reliving the past due to trauma, then I might be able to help. I have helped people navigate these circumstances and the pain and struggles they have.

While healthy relationships are the ideal for many of us - be it fulfilling friendships, secure romantic relationships, or even a loving and positive relationship with ourselves - there are a variety of challenges we may face which make this reality seem out of reach for us. With this in mind, I aim to help clients heal from and move past these challenges by exploring areas with them such as: trauma and toxic relationship recovery, attachment-based wounds, self-esteem, boundaries, communication, and emotional regulation. A reality where you feel secure, loved, and accepted by yourself and in your relationships is possible indeed!

Has the quality of your relationships affected your personal life? Everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard and understood, but it is easier said than done. I help couples, young adults and teens with connection, communication, and conflict resolution. With a collaborative approach, we can learn the best way to work through your challenges to reach a better understanding of yourself and your relationships. Let's join forces & improve the quality of your everyday life as an individual, partner, parent, or family member.

Is your relationship feeling stuck or disconnected? It can happen to any loving relationship. Couples can get stuck in a relational pattern leaving each partner feeling, possibly distant, frustrated, unsure, or lonely in a relationship that was once so fulfilling. As a couples therapist, I want to come alongside your relationship and help move you from an unhealthy pattern of interaction to one where each partner feels heard, understood, and loved.

My life's purpose is to hold space for trauma healing. I have specialized training in gold-standard treatments for trauma, and I have experience working with combat Veterans, first responders, and survivors of childhood abuse, rape, and domestic violence. Through these experiences, I have learned that humans are designed to heal from trauma, but sometimes we may feel unsure of where to start or feel stuck in the process. I am here to help you make sense of how trauma impacts your worldview, physical body, and relationships. It would be my honor to walk beside you as you reconnect with your intuitive ability to heal.

Wanting a Safe and Non-judgmental space to freely express your thoughts and emotions? I am here to help you through active listening, understanding, and support. I can provide guidance through practical strategies to help you with navigating challenges and improving overall mental well-being. Through the counseling journey, we work collaboratively towards gaining insight into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by developing healthier coping mechanisms to achieve personal growth and enhance relationships. I support clients with evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused Brief Therapies.

We work with all kids of clients and issues. We provide support and guidance to our clients appropriate for their needs.

I know sometimes it can be tough to seek help, so I’m happy you’re here! Whether you are seeking guidance and/or support to heal your pain, sadness, anxiety, old wounds, and identity-related concerns, I would like to create a space for you to celebrate your most authentic self and access a life of greater meaning and hope.

I chose to become a mental health professional because I myself have had many life experiences that have required me to pivot when things just weren't working. So I get it and I've put in the work to make the changes I needed to in order to have a more fruitful life! I will serve you with the utmost professionalism, genuineness, sincerity, and respect. Do you often find yourself struggling with the weight of the world on your shoulders? Are you at a crossroads and unsure where to turn? Are you struggling in a relationship and unsure how to communicate with your partner? If so, I can help!

My mission is to provide excellent care to the clients I serve in an environment that allows for building emotional well-being and creating the capacity for change while helping you to develop the skills necessary to increase your quality of life.

We all struggle at times in our lives, that is what makes us human. Sometimes it's hard to ask for help. I offer a safe space to talk through what is happening for you in a non-judgemental way. Together we can take the first step towards a better understanding of yourself and how you relate to the world.

Many people experience loneliness and difficulty finding and prioritizing themselves. They struggle to explore parts of aspiration due to guilt, shame, and fear. This doesn’t have to be you. If you are struggling with finding your value and your voice, then this is the space for you. Allow yourself to see the strength in who you are and how wonderful you have yet to be. I affirm individuals and families to trust themselves, after the world or people have let them down. I will help guide you down the road to meet your fulfilled self by encouraging you to step out of fear, find your voice, and regain your confidence.

Reaching out can be so hard, but it is such an important first step! We are not made to do the hard things alone and more and more research is showing that we are deeply wired for connection and support. While different seasons in our lives have different needs and speeds, we know that every individual is capable of connection, healing, and wholeness with the right support. Science has shown us time and time again how adaptive our bodies and brains are as they change to manage the stress or trauma of our lived experiences. Therapy is about moving towards healing and growth as we learn to trust ourselves.

Becoming the best version of yourself can often take both time and practice. The tasks and challenges of the day can seem overwhelming and anxiety producing. Sometimes we find ourselves stifled in our own growth and we struggle to find inner peace and permission which allows us to move forward. It is important for us to understand as humans, that it is okay to seek guidance and an outside perspective. It is a priority of mine to provide a safe, calm and client-centered environment for clients to obtain a better perspective on themselves.

No matter what you try, it does not seem to make things better. You want to feel close and connected to others, but it feels so hard. It seems like we are supposed to just figure it out alone, but no one ever showed you how to do that. If you are looking to make your relationships stronger or find yourself having the same challenges repeatedly, you are not alone. Our relationships are the backbone of our lives. But for many of us, they can be confusing and challenging at times. If you are looking to find meaning and growth to have the types of relationships that bring you joy and fulfillment, it is a skill and can be developed.
