I am licensed in Texas with 4 years of professional work experience. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I am very passionate about helping people no matter what age they are! I like to make the environment of the therapy process feel like it is super safe and comfortable. The importance to me in my therapeutic approach is to make you feel as if you are not talking to a stranger about your life. I want you to enjoy coming for as long as you need. I understand how hard it an be to talk to loved ones about our daily lives. It is my goal to guide you to reach whatever you are looking for while talking with me so you can be the best that you can be! I grew up speaking Spanish and English so if there is anyone needing services in either I am here to help! I grew up really understanding the need to work hard for what you want. My belief is that we also have to work on ourselves outside of therapy to reach our goals. With me, you will learn to change your fixed mindset into a growth mindset. Additionally, learn new ways to express yourself when needed to make your life feel balanced in all aspects! I have always been interested in helping people in some way. As a young child, I remember switching back and forth wondering what I want to be when I grow up? I thought of several things like an Astronaut, Police Officer, and Surgeon. One thing I noticed they all have in common is trying to help in some form. For me, I just wanted to do something that made some sort of difference. I ultimately found the perfect path for me with Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I understood at a young age, that many people felt like they could confide in me. With this trait, I chose my career and I grew to love it so much by all the different people I get to meet along the way! The best part of it, is how rewarding it feels to help people grow!
