Hola! I'm glad you have decided to start therapy!
I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over 15+ years of experience in clinical practice in both Mexico & TX. I work with clients facing a variety of challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, self-esteem and confidence struggles, and depression. I am passionate about helping individuals reconnect with themselves and others in a healthier way, rediscover their inner strengths, and recognize the patterns that may be interfering with their growth and well-being.
My therapeutic approach is Existential-Humanistic, and I integrate techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), internal family systems (IFS), and solution-focused therapy (SFT) when appropriate. I believe in creating a supportive and compassionate space where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and work toward meaningful change.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I'm proud of you! I am here to support you in your journey.
I look forward to meeting you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
