Therapists in Houston, TX

I work with people from diverse backgrounds: couples, families, individuals and groups -either, in English or Spanish. Issues explored: relations, career, personal challenges, trauma and family dynamics; also, gender roles, power and control issues, inequality, intimacy, sexuality, conflict and self-awareness. I provide my clients with a friendly environment that facilitates exploration, and the possibility of seeing old patterns from a different angle; with deep respect, an interested presence, and a curious attitude about my client's point of view. I believe in the power of healthy relationships. Relationships can be transformed if we are ready to re-invent ourselves.

My approach to therapy is to make it as casual and natural as possible. It should feel comfortable in the room, as if you're talking to an old friend. I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. I specialize in conflict resolution, sex, sexuality, intimacy, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am comfortable working with all ethnicities and cultures. I am committed to meeting my clients halfway and will move at your pace.

I am currently taking new telehealth clients for sex therapy, couples therapy and trauma therapy. My ideal client wants to heal.

As a licensed psychologist and AASECT certified sex therapist, I work with a variety of mental health and sexuality concerns. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process where the client and the therapist work together to facilitate positive change.
