My main approach is "cognitive behavioral therapy." How we see things makes much of our suffering. We will take a close look at "self talk," because it's kind of "programmed" for misery. There is a profound way in which our "animal brain" governs behavior, but our everyday thinking tends to shame and blame ourselves for things not under conscious control. I will invite you to take a very close look at what seems to be happening now. We might explore how past trauma is acting on us right now and experiment with exercises to calm the triggered brain. My life experience is rich with problems many of us face. I make use of knowing depression, anxiety, family conflict, addiction as well as my clinical training, intuition, and sometimes wisdom from different spiritual traditions. I'm not religious, but I respect the divinity within us all. Today's life is so prone to isolation and loneliness. We get to judging ourselves for things actually beyond our control. I would rather that we learn how precious we actually are. It's often hard to disclose what we are suffering so even the idea of therapy is scary. We want someone else to "fix it" for us, but soon learn it's going to take some work. Don't give up or settle for a certain level of miserable. Nourish curiosity and personal growth. BetterHelp intends either 30 or 45 minute sessions. I prefer 45 min. Except for Mondays or if I am ill, I check the platform daily to catch your messages. Disclosure here: I am not a morning person, and I've had little success with students of Rocky Mountain University, but success with their employees. I have completely failed to really help women whose partner is into porn. If you decide to work with me, read and "sign" the disclosure form. Explore the platform to find the free classes and groups, find and try out the "video session test," and figure out how to schedule your first appointment. Thank you for considering me to be your therapist!

You deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported — no matter where you come from or what you’re going through. Hi — I’m a bilingual therapist (English & Spanish) and a proud Latina woman of color, licensed in Massachusetts, Utah, and Florida. With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping people from all walks of life move through life’s challenges — whether that’s anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what’s next. I take a holistic approach to therapy, looking at your full self — mind, body, culture, and spirit. That means we don’t just focus on “fixing” symptoms — we explore the deeper patterns, experiences, and beliefs that shape how you show up in the world. In addition to traditional therapy, I also offer career counseling and life coaching for those navigating big transitions, burnout, or seeking more purpose and direction. Whether you're choosing a career path, rebuilding your confidence, or figuring out your next chapter — we can map it out together. Maybe you’re working through relationship challenges. Maybe your mental health has been taking a hit. Or maybe you just know it’s time for change — even if you’re not sure what that looks like yet. Whatever brought you here, just know you're not alone, and growth is absolutely possible. I bring a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and compassionate approach to every session. I know how much it matters to feel safe, respected, and understood — especially if you come from a background where therapy hasn’t always felt accessible or welcoming. Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and rooted in trust. There’s no pressure to be perfect — just space to explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. If you’re ready to start moving forward — in your relationships, your career, your confidence, or your sense of peace — I’m here to walk with you. Let’s do this together. Book a session — your growth, healing, and purpose start here.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
