I am a graduate of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas with a Master of Social Work degree. I began my career as a therapist at a private bilingual counseling agency working with children, teens, adults, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum, parenting problems, career challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and relationship issues. I have also helped people who have experienced physical and emotional trauma or abuse. I also have some experience working with hardships stemming from immigration issues.
My counseling style is to always demonstrate empathy and accept the client where they are at any moment. I like to allow the client to choose where they want to go and how soon, while I help maneuver and guide them through the journey. I am not there to change their directions for them, but ask the questions to challenge them and help empower them to move forward on their own. I believe in treating all my clients with respect and sensitivity. Depending on the presenting problem, my approach can consist of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, or psycho-social education, while I also have experience with art and play therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Priscilla is better then any other therapist I have had before. She takes time to answer things thoroughly and has really been helping me work through my day to day problems in healthier ways.

I like her style. She is real and encouraging. She makes you feel comfortable and not judged. She knows how to empower.

Priscilla has been very attentive to my needs and the reasons I decided to get counseling. She is very kind and understanding. I have already recommended BetterHelp and Priscilla, and will do it again in the future.

Priscilla is the first counselor I encountered on BetterHelp and she has been such a delight to talk with! She's very approachable and lends an ear so naturally that you feel comfortable conversing with her. She really takes the time to understand my perspective and really helps bring the reasons for my issues into light in a personable way. She helps by guiding me in a direction which I feel comfortable in and always encourages the best course of action with positivity and hopefulness. She even leaves inspirational quotes and links to very helpful resources which I check up regularly. I was very intimidated to reach out for help and Priscilla makes me so comfortable and happy with the experience and my improvement so far. I wish I would've reached out sooner! Highly recommend Priscilla if you are wanting an engaged, caring counselor who has the best interests for you in mind.
