Hi, I'm glad you're here. If you're navigating a chronic illness, caring for a loved one, coping with grief, or adjusting to a major life change, you may be carrying more than most people realize.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a background in medical social work, I've spent years supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging seasons. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your world changes unexpectedly or when you're constantly putting others' needs before your own.

My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can feel supported, understood, and less alone as we work through whatever you're facing together.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in Texas. I have several years of experience in therapy with children, teens and adolescents. I have worked in outpatient settings, school settings, and most recently at a residential treatment facility for adolescents struggling with mental health. I specialize in trauma, attachment, depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, and relationships.I have an EMDR basic training certificate, which can be beneficial for those struggling with trauma.

Therapy provides the opportunity for one to become the best version of themselves. I work to help clients understand and identify their own strengths and incorporating coping skills while processing aspects of the past to create an understand to the causes of our behaviors. Helping other work through transitional periods of life such as life transitions, work, relationships, school, etc have also been a part of my clinical skills.

My clients should know that I provide a calm, nonjudgemental space where they can show up exactly as they are. I understand how overwhelming anxiety, depression, and trauma can feel, and I approach each session with compassion and respect. I believe healing happens at your own pace, and I will walk alongside you as we work toward meaningful change.

I am a licensed psychologist with over fifteen years of experience providing therapy in both Spanish and English. I earned my master’s degree in counseling psychology from Indiana University and my doctorate in counseling psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My doctoral program emphasized multicultural competence and using research to inform practice. Therefore, I use an evidence-based, cultural and trauma-informed approach in therapy. I have worked with Veterans, women and men diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, women diagnosed with breast cancer, and individuals experiencing substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. I am licensed in the states of Texas and Iowa.

I’m a licensed clinical therapist in Texas with a master’s degree in Direct Practice Social Work, earned in 2016; proudly a first-generation college graduate! I believe everyone's background, values and traditions shape how they understand healing, connection, and resilience. I have always been one to honor and respect the diverse cultural identities, traditions, and lived experiences in others and within myself. Throughout the years, I've been attuned to how therapeutic experiences can show up in different ways when one is open in empathy, self-awareness and commitment to make positive changes.

My practice is rooted in trauma-informed, holistic therapy—supporting the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected pathways to healing. I believe therapy is a deeply personal journey that unfolds through curiosity, compassion, and self-awareness. Through an integrative lens in our sessions, my goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported —co-creating a safe, calming space where you can tune into yourself, process what’s been heavy, rediscover your strengths and find lasting healing on every level.
