I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. My experience comes from providing counseling to youth and adults with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, AD/HD, trauma, PTSD, and stabilization from community violence or natural disasters.
I approach the counseling relationship with sensitivity and respect for multi-cultural factors. I have clinical experience among adult children of immigrants from Mexico, India, and the Middle East. Representation for minority groups in the broader world of mental health is still very small, and my own professional goals include providing these minority groups with mental health support.
As a Catholic counselor, I understand and respect the relationship between faith and therapy for those seeking a Catholic counselor.
My experience is varied and across settings, as I have provided individual therapy in community agencies, university settings, and a psychiatric hospital. I believe that we are all products of our closest relationships, our various environments, our family, and every moment that leads up to the present. I strive to treat the counseling relationship, and you, with compassion and respect.
My counseling style and approach draws influence from the cognitive therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, as well as Structural Systems that come from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ASSYST (Acute Stress Syndrome Stabilization). A top priority for me is to meet you where you are and calibrate treatment and my approach to what will work best for us as we work together to meet your goals. Whether you are working towards insight, or symptom relief, or adjusting to a life transition, my hope is that we can collaboratively work together to achieve it!
It takes a lot of strength and courage to work towards a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

So far what I like the most is that she takes the time to listen fully and see where you're coming from and can respond to you in a manner that is informative yet sensitive without coming on too strong or opinionated and I think that's one of the most important things that helps continue with sessions work speaking to anyone in general even a friend.

In just two sessions I'm feeling more confident and less shame. Just simple logic I wouldn't have thought of about my controlling behaviors, especially with avoidance. Not something I could have searched for.
