Welcome! I always tell clients it is equally important for them to get to know me as much as I do them before therapy begins . Honesty and transparency are valuable in therapy, and I know it sets the foundation for a working therapist-client relationship. To begin, I have been a bilingual (English-Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for the past 14 years and have worked in a variety of settings including private practice, local mental health agencies, hospitals, and university settings. I have experience in helping clients with depression, postpartum depression, stress and anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and women related issues especially motherhood. I specialize in targeting family of origin issues which means I find it valuable to understand where patterns and habits in your life may come from and the life experiences that may also still impact you today. I use a solution focused and narrative therapy approach, always seeking client strengths and personal successes to help them write the next chapter in their life. I have helped clients of all ages including individuals, couples, and families. I earned a Doctorate of Philosophy in Family Therapy in 2018 from Texas Woman's University and I earned a Master's of Science in Professional Counseling from Texas Wesleyan University in 2006. My therapy style is warm and collaborative. I know the importance of being culturally sensitive and treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I listen to every person's unique story as if I am hearing it for the first time, and so that I can tailor our work and treatment goals to meet your specific needs. I believe that you are the expert of your story and though you may be feeling momentarily stuck, I know that together we can find ways to fulfill your best hopes. Thank you for confidently taking the first step and I look forward to being a small part of your journey!

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) as well as a national certified counselor (NCC), licensed in Texas and Florida with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. 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 believe that two of the most important needs in this world are to be understood and to make genuine connections with others. I also believe that the therapeutic relationship can help equip clients with the necessary skills and tools to get those needs met outside of the counseling office and to truly live well! My foundational approach is client-centered, which I believe is the key to a successful therapeutic experience, relationship, and outcome. I truly believe every client is unique, therefore my methods vary according to the specific needs of each individual client and situation. I depend on the therapeutic relationship to assess where the client is at, and what I can do to help them. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and change when given the tools and skills to do so. Based on the combination of circumstances, my approach may include helping individuals gain insight into how their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs directly or indirectly affect their behavior and the stories they tell themselves (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). My priority is to help clients discover the roots to their unhealthy behavior, thoughts, and or actions and then guide them through finding healthier solutions for their future. (Solution Focused Therapy).
