Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Laredo, TX covered by United Healthcare

Feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed? You don’t have to face it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and Registered Play Therapist, helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges with care and understanding.

Through play therapy, children find a safe way to express, process, and heal. Teens and adults receive guidance for trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, individualized, and focused on helping you move forward with confidence.

I bring experience from juvenile and community settings—including Webb County Youth Village Detention Center, Webb County Treatment Program, United Independent School District, and PILLAR—where I’ve supported clients and mentored clinicians.

Together, we can create a space where you or your child feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to grow.

I believe effective treatment is highly individualized, and I work collaboratively with clients to develop care plans that align with their goals, preferences, and lived experiences.

I strive to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where clients of all ages feel heard and supported. Whether you are seeking therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, I am committed to providing compassionate care that supports long-term mental wellness.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over 30 years of experience working with children, tweens, teens, and families. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and families as they build stronger connections and foster lasting change through evidence-based approaches.

My work is grounded in proven modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, and Self-Compassion, among others. I tailor each approach to meet the unique needs of the people I work with, always with the goal of creating meaningful and transformative outcomes.

It is an honor to walk alongside individuals and families on their healing journey—and to witness the power of connection in action.

If you've been searching for a therapist who truly gets where you're coming from, whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, family tension, ADHD, or struggling with substances, I want you to feel at home here from the first conversation. I work with individuals, couples, and families across all stages of life, including children, teens, and older adults. I offer sessions in both English and Spanish, and I warmly welcome clients of faith who want their beliefs to be a real part of the healing process.

This work found me early. I grew up watching my parents serve their community with unconditional love, and as a teenager I realized that was the path for me too. Over 10 years into this calling, that hasn't changed.
