You might be carrying more than anyone around you knows. The weight of surviving, of showing up, of holding your family together while quietly coming apart inside. Maybe you've been stuck in the same patterns for years, or struggling to feel at home in your own life. That disconnect is real. And it doesn't have to stay.
I'm an LCSW-S with 15+ years helping adults, couples & families, especially Latine individuals, first-gen professionals & first responders. I work with trauma, anxiety, eating disorders & relationship stress, including the weight of living between cultures. In Person & Telehealth: TX. Telehealth only: MD, AR & NM. Insurance accepted; sliding scale.
My approach is relational, culturally affirming, and trauma-informed. I draw on CBT, DBT, ACT, CPT, psychodynamic, somatic, and family systems frameworks because I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is where healing begins. I want you to experience a space that is warm, honest, and genuinely free of judgment.
