Greetings! I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor both in the State of Texas and Florida. I received my Master of Arts in Theological Studies with a Counseling Orientation at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Lombard, IL. In 2000 I became a Play Therapist from the Association for Play Therapy, Inc. My career as a Family therapist spans over 18 years of experience; my clinical skills have provided me the privilege of working with individuals who want to better their lives. I believe in the goodness of human beings and welcome the opportunity of helping them find better ways to live a fulfilling life via managing the many issues of life such as stress, anxiety, grief, adjustment issues and life transitions. I have provided counseling services for people dealing with depression, traumatic events, ADHD, parenting issues and terminal illnesses.
My approached is humanistic and supportive contained in a non-denominational spirituality. My focus is on helping clients recognize their personal strengths and assuming responsibility for their personal growth process. Though it may be important to recognize our past history in dealing with life issues, my focus is to help individuals live in the here and now with a strong emphasis of inner connectedness.
As a person who has grown up in a multicultural environment and as a Bi-lingual therapist (English/Spanish) I embrace diversity and respect for differences in people. Committed to my own personal growth together with my professional skills, I am committed to help individuals change their current situations, current pain or trauma into transformative living.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder
