As a bilingual (Spanish) Latina, born and raised in Texas to Mexican/American parents, I have a deep connection to my roots and community. Currently, I live and work in El Paso, Texas, but my career has also taken me to Austin and San Antonio. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide teletherapy to adults aged 18 to 64. Whether you're dealing with relationship issues, navigating grief, coping with life transitions, or seeking to manage stress, depression, or anxiety, I'm here to support you. Together, we can find effective solutions tailored to your unique situation. Helping people find hope and resilience during challenging times is incredibly rewarding for me. Walking alongside others as they explore, reflect, and grow is an honor. I look forward to meeting you and embarking on this journey together. **For NEW clients please keep in mind my availability before scheduling your first appointment: Monday-Friday 9-5 p.m. with limited time slots after 4:00 p.m. MST/5:00 p.m. CST. & no weekends.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and concerns. My primary goal is to establish a strong therapeutic rapport and create a safe space for open dialogue. We'll start by discussing your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. I'll ask questions to get to know you better and understand your unique experiences and needs. This initial session is an opportunity for me to gain some insights into your life, but it's also a time for you to ask questions and learn about my therapeutic approach. We'll explore your goals for therapy and work together to develop a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs. We'll identify the areas you'd like to focus on and set a clear path forward. Throughout our first session, my aim is to make you feel heard, understood, and supported. By the end of our first meeting, you'll have a better sense of what to expect in future sessions and how we can work together to achieve your goals.
