Great to meet you!

I am licensed bilingual (Spanish/English) therapist in Texas, with over 12 years of professional work experience. I support clients with managing their stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

A bit about my approach to therapy

In my clinical practice, I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to best meet the unique needs of each client. My preferred interventions include Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths-Based Intervention, and a Holistic Approach.

I tailor my interventions to each client’s individual needs, ensuring a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan that supports their long-term growth and well-being.

What you can expect from our first session

I aim to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves in their most vulnerable state.

The goals I typically set with clients are realistic and attainable, designed to empower them while ensuring that progress feels manageable and rewarding. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their short- and long-term objectives, tailoring these goals to their individual needs and circumstances.
