I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist with over a decade of counseling experience in a variety of environments.

What should your client know about you?

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and adults across a range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. I also work with individuals with Neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD), learning disorders, and communication disorders.

Life is full of ups and downs, and I have learned from both personal and professional experience that 'suffering in silence' is not really sustainable or healthy for anyone. You deserve to feel heard and to function at your best level. I have 6 years' experience post-graduation from the University of Texas with helping folks do just that. From nonprofits, to medical clinics, to correctional facilities, to teletherapy, I have connected deeply and partnered with many clients and families to trudge through some of their darkest hours and find more validation, calmness, and acceptance. My fluency in Spanish has given me opportunities to break down walls and connect with hundreds of clients whose cultural background is different than mine. I would be honored to have the chance to see if working together is a good fit for your healing journey.
