I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed psychologist providing individual, couples and family counseling. I am licensed in Texas with over 18 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, and stress management. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. In addition to working with mood disorders, I have worked with individuals and families involved in the legal system as well as Child Protective Services. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, narrative, and solution-focused interventions. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I often use Solution Focused Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With SFT, goal setting begins early in the therapy process. We begin by exploring strengths and constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. SFT is a positive and future focused approach to change.
