Services

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is fluent in English and Spanish. I have a Masters of Education in Counseling from the University of Houston and a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from the University of Houston-Downtown. In my experience as a counselor, I have had the opportunity to work with various age groups and environments including school, non-profit organizations, and outpatient hospital and clinic settings. In the last 10 years, I have worked primarily with adults with diverse life stressors and mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I believe that my role is to guide you in your journey. I want to help you build self-confidence and resilience. Together, we will work on accomplishing your goals and developing skills that you can use in life beyond your time in therapy.

My therapeutic approach depends on the individual I work with as we all have our unique experiences, challenges, and strengths. I apply evidenced based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness. I am also certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD.
