Hello!! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's of Education in Counseling and Development, focusing on Marriage, Couples, and Family therapy. Therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I am passionate about helping a broad spectrum of individuals and couples build healthier relationships, navigate life's many challenges, and building a connection with yourself through a compassionate, client-centered approach.
I specialize in supporting clients (Spanish & English) navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, and cultural or ethnic identity-related concerns. I am passionate about my profession. I enjoy teaching social work and providing social work services. I believe that social work is a calling and therefore, I am being called to serve.
I obtained a bachelor's in Social Work at Prairie View A & M University and a Masters in Social Work at the University of Houston. I am a native Houstonian, and bilingual (Spanish/English.)

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in McAllen, TX
Searching for therapists in McAllen starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy in McAllen, TX for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what to expect in sessions, and whether they work with concerns similar to yours.
In a smaller city like McAllen, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Texas. You may also want to compare practical fit factors, including appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong match for in-person or virtual care.
Therapy in McAllen can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for McAllen therapists who match your preferences, view insurance options, and see upfront cost estimates after your benefits are checked. You can browse therapists, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
