LGBT therapists in Mcallen, TX

I believe therapy is a collaborative effort, and that, therapy works for those that work it. My ultimate goal is to assist clients in establishing attainable goals, and supporting them as they work to obtain improved functioning overall in their daily lives. I received both my Bachelor of Arts and Master of Education from the University of St. Thomas, in Houston, and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2018.

I believe that healing happens within a safe, supportive, and authentic therapeutic relationship. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and culturally responsive, recognizing that each person brings unique experiences, strengths, and challenges into the counseling process. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, helping clients navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and stress management.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental while also providing practical tools and strategies to support meaningful growth. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and trauma-informed practices, tailoring treatment to meet each client's individual needs and goals.

One of my strengths is creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I am passionate about helping individuals identify their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, improve relationships, and build resilience. Whether you are facing a difficult life challenge or seeking personal growth, I am committed to walking alongside you as you work toward healing, balance, and lasting change.

Many of the people I work with are navigating profound turning points — preparing for adoption, navigating post adoption, moving through family transitions, or facing separations that reshape everything they've known. Others have quietly carried the weight of growing up without a strong family foundation, wondering why trusting others, or even themselves, still feels so hard. Whether you're a parent trying to show up for your child while processing your own pain, an adult learning to ask for what you need, or someone still figuring out who you are and what your purpose is, you've come to the right place.

I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.

In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.
