Biography

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor practicing in Texas (#67510). I earned a Doctor of Psychology from Walden University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas. I have 11 years of experience as a counselor both in substance abuse and child therapy. I am passionate about working with school age children. For a combined 15+ years I have worked as an educator and a clinical counselor for school aged students (ages 3-14) in both the public and private sectors. My internship was with the Hays Caldwell Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Center. I counseled psycho-educational groups within the Intensive Outpatient Program for clients who were court mandated to receive substance abuse treatment. I conduct individual child counseling and find that play intervention with my clients is most effective and a passion of mine. It is with hope that I can provide support and hope for those who wish to receive counseling services. My supervision course consisted of a 40-hour Supervisor Training. I became an LPC-S in 2019 and look forward in assisting associates accomplishing a state licensure for an LPC. I have extensive knowledge working with children who experience anxiety, ODD, depression, anger management, mindfulness practices, and adjustment building (children who have experienced loss of a loved one, divorce, or experience major life changes). I also have 8 years of experience within the public school system and understand the needs some students may experience with classroom accommodations or modifications. I am here to lend a helping hand to assist children in their time of need and allow them to grow and learn during the counseling process.
