ABOUT ME
Hailing from the vibrant Rio Grande Valley, I've been on quite the journey to get here. After pursuing my passion for psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, I honed my skills with a Master's in Social Work from Texas State University.
But wait, there's more! In 2010, I underwent bariatric surgery, thanks to some amazing surgeons, embarking on a transformative personal journey that informs my professional approach.
Throughout my career, I've been a champion for mental health, working with kids, teens, and families in various settings. I even helped craft and implement a kickass program for a local school district, because mental health matters everywhere.
So, whether you're navigating life's twists and turns or just need someone to listen, I'm here for you. Let's embark on this journey together, armed with humor, empathy, and a whole lot of wisdom.
ABOUT THERAPY
My approach to psychotherapy
Welcome to my approach to psychotherapy - where versatility meets effectiveness, and every client's journey is uniquely tailored.
Drawing from a diverse toolkit of theories and techniques, I adapt my approach to suit your specific needs and concerns. Whether it's untangling trauma with EMDR seamlessly woven into talk therapy, finding balance through cognitive behavior therapy for anxiety or depression, or delving into psychodynamic, narrative, or attachment-based methods to address past wounds and relationships, I'm here to guide you towards healing and growth.
In our sessions, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive space where you can explore, reflect, and evolve. Together, we'll navigate a spectrum of challenges, from anxiety and depression to trauma, grief, and relationship issues. And yes, I'm also here for those navigating the complexities of therapeutic parenting, grappling with gender identity, or adjusting post-bariatric surgery.
No matter where you are on your journey, know that you're not alone - I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
