My ideal clients are children, teens, and adults who are struggling with feelings of worry, isolation, worthlessness, and hopelessness. Clients who want to work to develop goals in order to better their mental health and overall well-being. Clients should be motivated and ready to work, as well as, be open-minded, flexible, and adaptable. Change is a process, but it is necessary to make progress. From our sessions, my client will be encouraged to focus on what motivates them for change rather than what discourages them.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed psychologist providing individual, couples and family counseling. I am licensed in Texas with over 18 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, and stress management. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. In addition to working with mood disorders, I have worked with individuals and families involved in the legal system as well as Child Protective Services.

In my psychotherapy (and psychoanalysis) practice , I am devoted to help you with problems of living: anxieties, inhibitions, depressive feelings, compulsions, frustrated ambitions, and fears of success, desire and love itself . We can team up to help you achieve a healthy, meaningful life with ability to love, work and play with freedom and creativity. The life you live today is shaping your future, to secure a better future we need to repair the problems in the present. I offer a proven, caring experiential approach to promote growth, deepen your self understanding, and increase your self worth.

Initiating therapy can be difficult. Even the first phone call can be very anxiety provoking. My goal is to help you discover changes that can lead to a better understanding of your life. Psychotherapy is a process that involves finding the real truth within one's self. With a compassionate approach we will be able to help understand the conscious and unconscious factors that are keeping you from enjoying healthy relationships, love, work, family and other life related experiences. I believe in being empathetic as well as mindful of clients during sessions so that you are able to achieve the goals that you want.

Life can be hard when we least expect it. I believe it's important for individuals to be able to recognize when there comes a time to ask for help. Counseling is a transformational process. I believe when you make time and invest the energy to allowing yourself to grow, succeed, and acknowledge all that you are capable of, it is priceless. I want to help you feel empowered to live your life with an abundance of confidence, strength, and peace. You deserve it because taking care of you matters. "We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden." - Johann von Goethe

I look at mental health from an integrative perspective. People are best understood and change is best maintained by taking into account all aspects of a person including physical health, genetic influences, cultural identities, behavioral patterns and past experiences. My therapeutic approach emphasizes an appreciation for the complexity and uniqueness of all of my clients. I provide a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and actions, so that you can better understand yourself and obtain direction on how to grow. I will collaborate with you to create an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

Unfortunately, problems come more easily and swiftly than progress and solutions. Weeks and months of positive steps forward can seem to be undone in a fraction of the time. I hope to unravel your life's complexities together to find and build a resilient path forward. Depression, anxiety, addiction and trauma can seem insurmountable, but they aren't. I'd love to explore the story of who you are and help blend it into the story of who you want to be!

New seasons offer a fresh start to tackle our goals. Whether it be managing stress, processing trauma, overcoming social anxiety, building self-esteem, or dealing with imposter syndrome, it's not too late to find a listening ear. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. I aim to create a safe and open environment that allows the freedom of self-exploration without fear of judgement. You are the expert on your life, and I am here to support you as we work to achieve your goals. If you are new to therapy or unsure what your goals are just yet, lets figure it out together!

You want to live the truth and fullness of who you are, but somehow you question your worthiness and struggle to find your authentic voice. It seems your key relationships or life circumstances encourage you to deny, hide, or diminish who you are. Perfectionism, people pleasing, performing, and the need to control have taken over your life, and the stress is causing pain and dis-ease. Often you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and burdened by life’s demands. Or you’re depressed and disconnected from yourself and others or angry and out of control, numbing to get by. Let me help you regain your center and move forward, authentically.

With over 8 years of experience, I am a dedicated and compassionate Counselling Professional who is committed to helping individuals overcome their challenges and find inner peace. I believe that everyone has the strength and resilience to navigate through life's difficulties, and I am here to provide the guidance and support you need. I will work with you to develop effective coping strategies and empower you to make positive changes. My approach combines evidence-based techniques with a warm and empathetic demeanor, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.

Life presents many circumstances that can be difficult for any person to navigate on their own. We aren’t born with the emotional regulation skills or coping skills needed to deal with the complexities of this fast-paced, high-pressure society. Some days we may be consumed with negative thoughts that hinder us from being who we want to be. Some days we are flooded with big emotions that are hard to control and seem to overpower us. Some days we experience worries that seem so big that it's hard for us to function.

I believe every individual deserves to experience true happiness and to have confidence in their ability to achieve their desired goals. My role is to support my clients with overcoming the interpersonal and often the internal conflicts which prevent them from having healthy relationships.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, depressed or anxious? Are you wanting to make a change but just don't know where to start? Emotional pain and stress impacts every part of our lives. Therapy assists in the process of moving from where you are to where you want to be. Through a therapeutic relationship, I provide a safe space that allows curiosity and meaningful reflection. We will explore past experiences in order to find patterns and world views that you currently hold and that influence the way you operate today. Moving at your pace, together we will work towards setting and achieving your personalized goals.

Good day to you. Congratulations on taking your first step toward experiencing freedom and healthy functioning.
