New to Grow
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of dedicated clinical practice, specializing in the care of adults, adolescents, and couples. I hold a Master’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Christian Studies, a unique combination that allows me to integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches with a holistic perspective that honors both psychological and spiritual dimensions of healing. My professional journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, cultivate resilience, and discover their fullest potential. My therapeutic style is compassionate, structured, and client-centered, blending cognitive-behavioral strategies, multicultural sensitivity, and strengths-based interventions. I believe that therapy is not only about resolving difficulties but also about fostering growth, clarity, and purpose. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I am adept at working across cultures and supporting diverse populations. My multicultural fluency enables me to bridge communication gaps and create safe, inclusive spaces for clients from different backgrounds. I have extensive experience in cross-cultural counseling, helping clients adapt to new environments, manage identity transitions, and strengthen relationships across cultural divides. My practice emphasizes: - Individual Growth: Supporting adults and adolescents in managing stress, trauma recovery, identity development, and personal empowerment. - Couples Therapy: Helping partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen intimacy. - Family Systems Work: Guiding families through conflict resolution, parenting challenges, and intergenerational dynamics. My professional philosophy is simple yet profound: therapy is a collaborative journey toward becoming the best version of oneself. With empathy, precision, and cultural awareness, I empower my clients to embrace change, cultivate resilience, and live with greater authenticity.
