Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Marriage and Family Therapist based in Texas and extended my services to California. I received my Masters from the Pacific Oaks College based in Pasadena, CA. I have been practice for 14 years. I help the Latinx community heal and process their trauma, intergenerational trauma, anxiety, struggling with career and stress, and depression. I provide services to young Latinx students in their last semesters of their mental health careers.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will briefly introduce each other, then we will embark in to the main or specific reasons that brought you to therapy. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a wealth of experience working with teens, parents, families, young adults (first, second generation) and couples. One of my main focus is to provide a safe space for the clients.
