About MeÂ
I believe every person’s story is shaped by the experiences, relationships, cultures, and communities that have influenced who they are. My role as a counselor is grounded in the belief that each person deserves a space where they feel respected, understood, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges.
​
I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio and completed a Bilingual Counseling Certificate through a CACREP-accredited program. As a bilingual counselor, I provide services in English and Spanish, with a commitment to creating culturally responsive care that honors each person’s identity, background, and lived experiences.
​
My clinical experiences have shaped my passion for supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationships, identity exploration, and personal growth. I am especially passionate about supporting Latinx and LGBTQ+ communities and creating an affirming space where individuals feel empowered to show up as their authentic selves.
​
Specialized Services
I provide a supportive and developmentally appropriate space where children and adolescents can better understand their emotions, build coping skills, and grow in confidence as they navigate everyday challenges. My approach is trauma-informed, and I incorporate creativity and caregiver collaboration to meet each child where they are emotionally and developmentally.
​
Whether a child is experiencing anxiety, behavioral concerns, ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties, school stress, grief, trauma, or family transitions, counseling offers a space to feel understood, build healthy coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience over time.

Therapeutic Approach
My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), honoring the deep connection between the mind, body, relationships, culture, and community. I believe healing is not about becoming someone new, but reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have always been there beneath survival, pain, and adaptation.
​
Together, we slow down and listen to what your inner world has been carrying. The parts of you that have protected you, coped for you, or held experiences of overwhelm are not problems to fix, they are parts of you that deserve compassion, understanding, and care.
​
Our work is rooted in curiosity rather than criticism, and compassion rather than shame. Beyond insight, therapy becomes a process of reconnection: with yourself, your emotions, your body, and your story in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.
​
I see counseling as a collaborative and deeply human process. You are the expert of your lived experience, and my role is to offer presence, attunement, and clinical support as you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a life that feels aligned and meaningful.
Wherever you find yourself, you are welcome here. It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you deepen your connection with yourself and the world around you.
