Great to meet you!

Are anxiety, low mood, or major life changes leaving you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) LCSW working with adolescents and young adults across Texas and Arkansas who are navigating anxiety, depression, identity stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel pressure to succeed, support their families, or “figure everything out” — while quietly struggling with overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion.

My approach to therapy

In therapy, we’ll focus on:

• Reducing anxiety and racing thoughts

• Building healthy coping skills

• Navigating identity and cultural stress

• Strengthening confidence and decision-making

• Managing transitions like college, career changes, or relationship shifts

What you can expect from me

As a Latinx therapist, I provide an affirming, culturally responsive space where you don’t have to explain your background or values. My collaborative approach helps you understand patterns and make empowered choices. Therapy is available in English and Spanish via telehealth across Texas and Arkansas.
