I am a bilingual (English, Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor who helps adults dealing with anxiety, childhood trauma, perfectionism, and relationship issues. I am passionate about helping clients overcome traumatic experiences and am trained in EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) Therapy to facilitate their healing process. I also integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients be more present in the moment, learn to cope with overwhelming emotions, and have fulfilling relationships.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Houston and my Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. I completed my EMDR training with Compassion Works in May 2024.
If you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck, I invite you to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
"As a counselor, I strive to provide a space where my clients feel heard and supported."
Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?
Thriveworks offers quality care to clients and values clinicians’ feedback to continually improve their systems.
Why did you decide to become a counselor?
My personal experiences and interest in the field of psychology inspired me to become a counselor.
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
My goal in the first session is to build trust with my clients, discuss their concerns and therapy goals, and provide clarification about the therapy process if they need it.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
I enjoy reading fiction books, watercolor painting, spending time in nature, trying out restaurants in Houston, and traveling to beautiful places!
What is one thing you wish all clients knew?
My job is not to give advice or fix your problems, rather provide an affirming, safe space where you can be honest with yourself, figure out what is no longer serving you, and make changes that lead to fulfillment and inner peace.
