Grief counselors and therapists in Mcallen, TX

I am a Los Angeles native with a Bachelor’s in Business and a Master’s in Social Work, I’ve spent the past 10 years doing work I genuinely love. I bring both real‐world perspective and clinical experience into the therapy space—with a little humor along the way. I’m excited to offer a safe, affirming place where we can process together and work toward your ideal goals.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with a Master of Arts in Counseling. I currently work in a group practice, and I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find pathways to healing and growth.

I have experience working with a wide range of clients, from young adults to those navigating end-of-life transitions. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, and I’m here to help you explore ways to manage those feelings and take steps toward the life you want to live.

I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a great tool for addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors. I also find Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to be a powerful approach for helping people live more authentically and in alignment with their values. Whether you're looking to manage stress, navigate grief, or just understand yourself better, we’ll work together to find the tools and strategies that resonate most with you.

As a therapist, I'm naturally solution-focused, but I also know that lasting change doesn't happen by rushing past the hard stuff. I like to find a balance between processing and problem-solving. Sometimes that means helping clients unpack what's been weighing on them, make sense of their experiences, or connect the dots between past and present. Other times, it means rolling up our sleeves and figuring out what practical steps they can take to start feeling better and moving forward.

I don't believe therapy should be a place where you come in week after week and just talk without seeing any growth. At the same time, I don't believe in jumping straight to solutions before someone has had the opportunity to feel heard and understood. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build skills, and make meaningful changes while honoring where they are in the process.

I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and genuine in my approach. I want clients to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves into the room—the messy parts, the uncertain parts, and the parts they're still trying to figure out. I believe some of the best work happens when people feel safe enough to be honest and supported enough to take risks.

Above all, I see therapy as a partnership. You are the expert on your life, and I'm here to help you make sense of what you're experiencing, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable for you.
