Hello there, I’m Lus. Do you miss feeling like yourself? Does it feel like you are going around in circles with the same problems yet can’t seem to find a permanent solution? I guide adults from a person-centered approach to find solutions to their problems when experiencing difficult feelings such as those that come with depression and anxiety. I can help you work through major life transitions (newly married, becoming a parent, empty nester, starting school, grief, becoming ill, divorce, etc.) getting to the root of the problem and developing cognitive behavioral techniques that will get you back to stability. Obtaining therapy services can be intimidating but I can guarantee you that you are making the right decision. I possess bilingual abilities (Spanish), if it's your preference. You deserve your own space to heal and evolve. During our sessions, you will have a safe space where I will meet you with empathy and evidence-based practice. Let me help you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together we will start with identifying what your specific challenges are. I will also provide you with brief education to help you begin to make better sense of your symptoms and to help you cope.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I hold clinical social work (LCSW) licenses in the states of California, Texas and New Mexico. I love helping adults of all ages navigate through the different stages of life.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I strongly believe our childhood experience (whether it is positive or negative) shapes us into the adults we become. Therefore, as a child we are first exposed to the environment, then it becomes part of us and soon we start presenting behaviors that align with the experience. In my work with a diverse population throughout the years I have found that although everyone’s experience is unique it always goes back to their childhood experience at one or more levels. Through the use of CBT you will gain knowledge and techniques to help you reach your goal/s.
