Therapy Session in Texas

Texas A&M Central Texas with a marriage and family specialization

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor with a deep passion for helping individuals overcome life’s challenges and build meaningful, fulfilling lives. With years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults, I provide compassionate, culturally informed care tailored to each person’s unique journey. I believe healing begins in a safe, supportive space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices like CBT to help you process difficult experiences, gain insight, and create lasting change. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating grief, trauma, addiction, cultural transitions, family conflict, and relationship challenges, including infidelity. I also support immigrants adjusting to life in a new country and individuals coping with COVID-19-related loss or major life transitions. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and direct, while always maintaining compassion and respect. Together, we will set clear, meaningful goals and build the tools you need to move forward with resilience, confidence, and purpose.

I'm a dedicated counseling professional with a deep commitment to helping individuals and families improve their emotional well-being and relationships. I hold advanced training in mental and behavioral health, and I have extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, and professionals coping with challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach combines empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel valued, heard, and understood. I believe in empowering individuals to recognize their strengths, build resilience, and develop practical strategies for lasting positive change. My goal is to help clients with self-awareness, healing, and personal growth, while guiding them toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

A Safe Space for Healing, Even When Words Aren’t Enough Virtual therapy shouldn't feel like a chore—it should feel like a relief. As a "chameleon" clinician, I adapt my energy to meet your child exactly where they are. Whether they are shut down or acting out in fear, I create a non-judgmental space where even the "scariest" emotions are welcome. I specialize in working with children and teens navigating the aftermath of physical and sexual abuse. I know that trauma often looks like anger or violence; I see that as a cry for safety, not a "bad kid." My Tools: Art & Play Therapy: I use my own healing journey as a bridge. The art you see behind me was my voice when I suppressed my own pain for years. I help kids use creativity to speak when words feel impossible. Mindfulness & CBT: We work on grounding the body and reclaiming control over "big" thoughts and reactions. Our Partnership: Healing from trauma is a team effort. I don’t just work with your child; I partner with you to turn our sessions into a roadmap for safety and peace at home. Let’s work together to help your child find their voice and heal their inner self.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work and have experience providing services in community-based and residential settings, working with diverse populations across the lifespan. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, adjustment difficulties, behavioral concerns, family conflict, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. Whether supporting a child learning emotional regulation skills, a teenager navigating identity and peer stress, or an adult facing major life changes, I tailor my approach to meet each client’s developmental and individual needs. My therapeutic style is collaborative, culturally responsive, and strengths-based. I integrate evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed skills, and trauma-informed care. I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. As a bilingual clinician (English/Spanish), I am committed to providing accessible and culturally attuned care. My goal is to help clients build insight, strengthen coping strategies, and move toward greater confidence, stability, and emotional well-being.

Therapy is a space to understand your emotions, slow down, and feel more in control of your thoughts. I work with children, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, school stress, bullying, friendships, family conflict, identity, self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical coping tools, emotional regulation, and recognizing patterns so reactions don’t feel overwhelming. My approach is collaborative and supportive, helping clients build skills to become well-functioning, confident members of society. The goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and more capable handling everyday situations at home, school, and socially. With a background in education training at Houston Christian University, I use a developmentally informed approach to meet each person where they are while fostering self-awareness, resilience, and independence.
