I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be yourself without judgment. I work with teens and adults across the lifespan, with particular experience supporting clients as they navigate anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and the challenges that come with change. My background in education has given me a deep understanding of the pressures people face at different stages of life, while my counseling training allows me to support clients in finding greater clarity, confidence, and balance. I strive to create a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and collaborative, while helping clients recognize their strengths and move toward meaningful change.

I am dedicated to providing compassionate, bilingual (English / Native Spanish) psychotherapy to clients who are navigating life’s most challenging moments, especially those dealing with anxiety, depression, major life transitions (such as cancer diagnosis, grief, trauma). I specialize in working with individuals and their families, supporting them in navigating emotions, distress, and resilience during challenging times. I provide a safe, supportive space where individuals can process emotions, develop coping skills, and find strength in the face of adversity.

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.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas working with teens and adults. I came to counseling after more than a decade in education, and I have a master's in Counseling and Development from Lamar University.

Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting to their families, cultures, workplaces, or systems that weren't built with them in mind. Sometimes they've adapted so well they've lost track of what they actually want. I focus on anxiety, neurodivergent burnout, LGBTQ+ identity and identity exploration, immigrant and first-generation experiences, grief that often goes unrecognized (pet loss, estrangement, immigration-related loss), and reproductive decisions. I'm a neurodivergent immigrant myself, which is part of what brought me to this work.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a specialization in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions, I bring a unique and deeply personal perspective to my practice. My journey through significant life events, including navigating the complexities of an abusive marriage, enduring the challenges of infertility, the transformative process of divorce and remarriage, embracing the roles of a parent and stepparent, as well as coping with the heart-wrenching unexpected loss of my brother has equipped me with an unparalleled empathy and understanding. These experiences not only shaped my resilience but also deepened my commitment to supporting others through their challenges.

I specialize in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse, neglect, dysfunctional family systems, PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), attachment wounds, disenfranchised grief (visit twodoveswellness.com for an explanation of this) and loss-related grief. I use an eclectic approach of various modalities with an emphasis on psychoeducation, somatic experiencing and Polyvagal theory. You will befriend your nervous system. I am an Attachment Trauma Treatment Specialist licensed in Michigan, Texas and Alabama. Together, we work to better understand how past experiences may still be impacting present-day emotions, relationships, and patterns of behavior.
