Houston, TX 77098
I support adolescents and adults, primarily women, navigating grief, childhood trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and multicultural or bicultural identities.
We often carry forward in the present what we learned long before we had the chance to question it. Our early experiences can influence how much we move through the world, including how we perceive ourselves, relate to others, respond to difficult emotions, protect ourselves, and understand our own needs. Sometimes, the way we talk to ourselves and the ways we cope make sense for the circumstances we're in, even if they no longer serve us in the present.

Licensed Professional Counselor, PsyD, RPT-S, LPC
1 Endorsed
Houston, TX 77070
Since 1993, I have treated women and children that struggle with grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, low self esteem, body image and relationship issues.
Finding the right match between client and therapist is the most critical factor in achieving a positive treatment outcome. It takes a great amount of trust to form a therapeutic relationship. Compassion coupled with confronting unhealthy coping that one may not be aware of are keys to lasting change. My clients often report feeling not only understood, but also helped in understanding their struggles from another perspective. Together we explore unhelpful patterns while practicing healthier ways of being. Clients know my level of sincerity, knowledge and dedication fairly quickly as I believe genuineness is essential to good treatment outcomes.

Houston, TX 77006
I specialize in relationship concerns, mood and anxiety disturbances, grief, and trauma, including trauma related to unresolved childhood issues and damaging relationships.
Many of my clients come to me having tried traditional talk therapy unsuccessfully. My body-centered approach to psychotherapy allows you to explore how past traumatic events may be contributing to your current mental health concerns, to confront fear and self-doubt, to integrate disowned parts of yourself, and to release what is limiting you.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist with a strong background in crisis work, grief, and loss.
I truly believe everyone’s got a story worth telling, and I’d be honored to hear yours. I want to get to know you—what brought you here, what you’re carrying, and what you’re hoping for. To me, meeting you where you are means understanding that what works for one person might not work for another. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to healing!

Recently, I expanded to work with older individuals and supported those clients who experienced situations such as divorce, illness, loss, trauma, anxiety, and self esteem.
All people deserve to feel loved and connected to others. Is there an obstacle or roadblock that gets in the way of this connection? Perhaps your mind gets clouded with self-doubt, fear, negativity, and self-defeating behaviors. Together we can work towards a life of growth and healing.

Life can feel like a roller coaster—our hearts, minds, and bodies soaring at times, and other times sinking low. Along this journey, we may face challenges like depression, anxiety, anger, communication difficulties, low self-esteem, major life changes, or the need to adjust to something new. Each person, couple, or family has their own time to seek support. The important thing to remember is: it’s never too late. Cada persona, pareja o familia tiene su propio momento para buscar ayuda. Lo más importante es recordar que nunca es tarde.
