I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with 16 years of experience working with youth and adults from diverse populations. I take pride in assisting clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, and identity issues. Together we can identify what you want to experience and explore what is holding you back. We will work together to develop new tools that can assist you in breaking unhelpful patterns and getting on a path toward living the life you want. I offer appointments online throughout Texas and in person if you reside in the Brownsville area.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a personalized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with clients of all ages for the past 15 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping clients identify the root cause of their challenges and create a personalized plan that leads to measurable progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have 15 years of experience working with clients of all ages. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.
