After graduating in 2013 from the University of Houston - Clear Lake from the Marriage and Family Therapy program, I worked in the non-profit sector offering therapy services to both children and adults in the Houston area. I also have experience working in a school setting, and have a passion for working with teens and young adults. I am fully bilingual in both English and Spanish, and I am trained in different treatment modalities to help tackle problems with trauma, anxiety, and adjustment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first few sessions can be frustrating: there are a lot of questions and information to go through. If you are frustrated, and feel like you are not making process, it is completely normal. As you get to know me better (and as I get to know you as well) therapy will feel more like a conversation.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I try to bring a mix of humor and knowledge to the session - although you are the expert in your own life, I try to help bridge the gap in what you know and what information or perspective might be missing. I believe that everything can make sense, and everything can be understood. If I do not know something, I will let you know, and then immediately go look it up. I am also a tenacious therapist - I do not give up on my clients, and I try to do everything in my power to make sure you are living your best life. I also try to be respectful of your choices and boundaries. If there is anything that bothers you, anything you do not want to talk about, just let me know; I want you to leave our sessions feeling confident and heard.
