I'm a licensed therapist in Texas with over 10 years of experience, specializing in helping women of color navigate life transitions, anxiety, and personal growth. I work with clients facing various life challenges, including stressors related to career, family dynamics, and personal life. Through a holistic approach that integrates therapeutic practices, spirituality, mindfulness techniques, and goal setting, I empower clients to overcome limiting beliefs, reframe negative thought patterns, and connect with their inner strengths, often leading to significant improvements in stress management and decision-making within a few weeks.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll begin with introductions and a detailed intake to explore the challenges you're facing and what brought you to therapy. If time allows, we'll also do a self-care assessment to help guide our future sessions. Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan with clear goals for the next six months, ensuring that our work aligns with your needs and aspirations for growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a first-generation Mexican American who has broken my own generational cycles, I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by women of color. With years of experience working with clients, I’ve developed an approach that helps you (a) identify the root causes of the struggles that may be holding you back, and (b) create a personalized plan to guide you toward meaningful, lasting change. My journey and expertise allow me to provide compassionate, culturally attuned support that empowers you to break through barriers and thrive.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy is a core approach in my practice, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients. I focus on empowering clients by allowing them to lead the conversation and explore their emotions freely. Through active listening and reflecting their feelings, I help them gain deeper self-awareness. This approach fosters self-reliance and confidence as clients tap into their own strengths to solve problems. It’s especially effective for those dealing with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues, promoting long-term growth and healing.
Trauma Informed Care
I use Trauma-informed care in my practice, where I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment for clients who have experienced trauma. I use this approach to ensure that all interventions are sensitive to the impact of trauma on the mind and body, recognizing its influence on behavior and emotions. By focusing on empowerment, trust, and client choice, I help clients feel in control of their healing journey. This method also involves being mindful of potential triggers and working at a pace that feels comfortable for the individual. Trauma-informed care is essential in reducing retraumatization and fostering resilience and recovery.
Supportive
Supportive therapy is an approach I frequently use to provide clients with emotional encouragement and validation during their healing journey. It focuses on strengthening the client’s coping mechanisms by offering reassurance, active listening, and empathetic understanding. In my practice, I create a non-judgmental space where clients feel safe expressing their feelings and challenges. This approach helps build trust and promotes self-esteem, allowing clients to face difficult situations with greater confidence. Supportive therapy is particularly effective in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
