Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Laredo, TX

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.

Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.

Great to meet you!

Sometimes the hardest part of change isn’t what happened. It’s figuring out how to live with what comes next. I work with adults and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes that have left them feeling overwhelmed or unlike themselves. Whether you’re adjusting to a loss, a changing relationship, a new stage of life, or simply struggling to cope, therapy can be a place to make sense of what you’re feeling and find your footing again.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist providing therapy for children, teens, and adults. As an RPT, I have completed hundreds of hours of advanced training and clinical supervision to provide developmentally-appropriate, evidence-based care to children and adolescents. I partner with parents closely during the therapeutic process to reach our identified goals.

I also work with women across many life stages — whether you're navigating young adulthood, finding your footing professionally, learning to prioritize yourself in motherhood, or processing childhood wounds. I'm committed to ongoing education so I can offer trauma-informed care.

My goal is to partner with you in discovering your own, unique, ability to heal. I believe that hope, wholeness, and peace are all possible, but that sometimes we need assistance in finding them. Coping with the reality of our story can be difficult when it is not as we originally wished it to be. Together we can make meaning of your story and find the strength that lies within it. I commonly work with clients who experienced trauma and are looking for liberation from their triggers and negative beliefs about themselves. While I do various types of trauma work, I especially enjoy working with individuals who have childhood trauma, women who have experienced birth trauma, or veterans.
