Family therapy and counseling in Mcallen, TX

20 Years of experience and 35 years of recovery experience in substance use and trauma work.

I am a compassionate cognitive behavioral therapist with over 20 years in the field. I will meet you were you are to help you create individualized change to get you to your next level goals for a happier, healthier, safer, and prosperous you.

I am a tenured psychotherapist who has been licensed for 19+ years, and I have experience in a variety of behavioral and mental health settings. I have been trained in many modalities of psychotherapy, and my passion is to see people heal by connecting them with their own strengths and natural abilities to achieve the goals they set for themselves.

Therapy isn’t what it used to be. It doesn’t have to be stuffy or scary. I want you to feel comfortable, safe, and enjoy the process! This is your journey, your time, and your money, so I want to make sure the experience is tailored to you and your needs.

I am a licensed therapist, with over a decade of experience in the mental health field and doctoral-level education specializing in trauma-informed care. I am trained in multiple disciplines including but not limited to EMDR, TF-CBT, and CPT. My integrative approach exists to treat various mental health concerns while passionately working to help individuals, couples, and families of all diverse backgrounds and populations heal.

I am here for anyone who seeks uncommon peace and lasting contentment regardless of circumstances. As a therapist and theologian, I will (upon request) seamlessly weave Christian faith and mental wellness, treating both with equal reverence. Serenity is found where gratitude, intentional thought-authoring, emotional regulation, and value-driven alignment grow. Let's do this!

With the right help, I firmly believe anyone who is willing to put in some hard work can increase their self-knowledge, grow in the understanding of other perspectives, heal wounds, and cultivate meaningful relationships. I hope to truly get to know you and hear your story so that I can help you find fulfillment and growth in a very challenging world.

If you've spent your life providing, surviving, and holding things together for everyone else, therapy can feel like one more thing to manage. I work with men and working people who are tired of feeling anxious, isolated, or stuck, and who want to feel like themselves again. As a bilingual therapist raised in San Antonio, I understand the pressures of low wages, generational trauma, and the expectation to keep pushing no matter what. Whether you're navigating relationships, identity, or stress that never fully turns off, you don't have to figure it out alone. Sessions can be held in Spanish or English. Si prefieres hablar en español, aquí estamos.

I specialize in therapy for the women everyone relies on who feel like if they stop, everything falls apart, helping them quiet anxiety, let go of perfectionism, and finally believe they are enough.
