Couples therapists in Nacogdoches, TX

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.

Hi there! I am glad we have crossed paths, and am here to help you navigate through life's challenges. Maybe you're dealing with relationship issues, a life transition, self-esteem issues, grief & loss, or simply trying to find yourself. If you're feeling confused and overwhelmed with emotion, deciding to meet with a therapist can be the first step toward relief.

I have nearly 20 years of experience helping people find answers to the difficulties they face. I believe you are the expert as it relates to your symptoms and your life experiences. My role is to collaborate with you, offer guidance and insight, and work together with you toward your goals. Ultimately, I feel it is most important that there is a strong rapport between you and me, and that you feel comfortable in an easygoing, non-judgmental atmosphere. I would love to have the opportunity to help you tap into your strengths, and discover the personal peace and fulfillment we all want out of life. Let's Do This!

I have big reactions. I’m not the type of therapist who just nods and asks, “how does that make you feel?” I’m expressive, emotionally honest, and unafraid to challenge you when you need it. I see therapy as a space for truth-telling, reclaiming your parts, and learning how to stay present with your life... even the parts you wish you could fast forward through.

I specialize in working with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, stress, boundary setting, relationship conflicts, trust issues, parenting struggles, and life transitions. I have worked in a variety of setting including crisis hotlines, high schools and mental health community centers. I have worked with a wide range of age groups and backgrounds. I help my clients identify the issues, create understanding and find meaningful solutions to the issues clients bring into therapy.

My focus has been on helping people cope with trauma, physical, sexual or emotional. I graduated from Texas Tech in 2015 with my master's in Community Mental Health Counseling.
