I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I am bilingual (Spanish and English). I received my Master of Arts and Counseling from St. Edward's University. Throughout my career I have experience working in the mental health field connected to diverse communities (both youth and adult) providing therapy to the homeless, HIV/AIDS, legal/juvenile, and the LGBTQIA community. Overall, the goal of therapy is to provide a safe space for those struggling to find their voice and obtain the skills and support to navigate through hardships.
