Great to meet you!

I'm a Bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor, dedicated to offering a safe, affirming, and collaborative space for your healing and personal growth.

I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health from University of North Texas at Dallas. I have specialized training in various therapeutic approaches, including DBT, EMDR, ACT, and CBT. These tools equip me to support you through even the toughest moments.

I am passionate about working with Latinx, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC communities.

My approach to therapy

I offer counseling with a Gestalt perspective, integrating LGBT-affirming therapy and cultural sensitivity. This approach helps clients become aware of the present and understand how past experiences impact their current behavior. Techniques like role-playing and emotional exploration promote self-discovery and personal growth in a supportive, culturally attuned environment.

What you can expect from me

I firmly believe that healing is a personal journey, unique to each individual. As your counselor, I'm here to empower you in discovering and utilizing your inner strengths to live a life aligned with your values. Let's break stereotypes together—therapy isn't about a strict script. It's a collaborative journey where we explore your unique strengths and unveil fresh perspectives.
