Welcome to BetterHelp! I look forward to knowing you and helping you to have a better, more peaceful and fulfilling life. My approach to counseling is relaxed - one person listening to and sharing with another - the simple, but not always easy, principles that make life better. A person can go to college, pass the tests and get the license. But a human being with heart, combined with past experiences can feel another's difficulties and emotional pain. Because of the victories and tragedies in my own life, I can relate to the hardships of others. Most of my career has been dedicated to helping people with emotional issues that steal peace and fulfillment. My graduate research was in the field of spiritual development. Whatever your personal religious beliefs might be, I am skilled at helping you find spiritual solutions to life's physical and emotional problems. I have 34 years experience assisting people heal from emotions relationship, and purpose of life issues. I relate to others, not based on gender, race, politics, or creed, but on the "the content of their character," as Dr. ML King said.

I am a mental health counselor licensed in the state of Texas. Professionally, I have a little over 3 years of experience. I have been a fitness/life coach for over 20 years and I am a veteran with 10 years of service. Therefore, in both positions I have had the honor to provide counseling and guidance to hundreds of individuals in all areas and walks of life. Currently, I work as a mental health counselor at a Behavioral Hospital. Our main focus is to attend to the crisis at hand, utilizing brief and swift psychotherapy. Once patients are stable, I provide psychotherapy or psychoeducation in accord to their main problems or obstacles. I have worked with patients and clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance/alcohol, and sexual abuse. Been a Hispanic male veteran with personal experience in dealing with mental health, I understand the stigmatization and the cultural sensitivity that is needed to provide support for any and all individuals. Therefore, I get to work more often with patients and their families, who struggle with PTSD and other military related trauma. I am a Christian and follow Christian principles, therefore, I believe in treating all individuals with outmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My counseling style is assertive and direct, but empathic and compassionate, all at once. My approach is eclectic, hence, it is a combination of cognitive-behavioral, spiritual, psychodynamic and positive psychology. I am able and willing to adapt to any form of counseling and treatment as required by the patient or client, in order to meet your specific needs and unique obstacle. Lastly, I am currently finishing my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology. Hence, I am constantly learning new ways of improving my skills, knowledge, and attaining more tools to better serve my patients and clients. I personally understand the courage and confidence that it is needed to accept that one needs help and seek that help in order to better one’s life and improve quality of life, for you and those around you. I am excited and look forward to providing guidance and effective therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) in Texas. I started my career in counseling because I saw how fear and uncertainty about the future can leave people feeling alone and doubting their potential. One of the things I love most about this work is helping people recognize the strengths they already have, and creating a plan of action to help them move toward the life they want. I enjoy collaborating with clients to brainstorm goals, explore possibilities, and create space for growth—all in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I provide messaging support between sessions, ensuring ongoing guidance with timely responses. My therapeutic style is both compassionate and practical. I specialize in working with individuals navigating ADHD, emotional regulation challenges such as anger, and the everyday stressors that can make life feel overwhelming. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in my work—approaches that help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, and empower you to take small, meaningful steps toward change. In our work together, I’ll help you identify and challenge your inner critic, build mindfulness, and create S.M.A.R.T. goals—Specific, Measurable, Action-Oriented, Realistic, and Timely—that make progress feel achievable. We’ll focus on finding solutions, strengthening emotional awareness, and celebrating the wins along the way. If you’re ready to explore your potential, find clarity and purpose, or reduce the impact of stress in your life, I would love to support you. By scheduling a session, we can begin building confidence, developing coping strategies, and working toward the goals that matter most to you.
