I am bilingual, Spanish and English, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas and Florida, with 20 years experience, who enjoys working with couples and adult family members to rediscover their strengths and gifts and develop new ones to continue to reach their therapeutic goals and beyond. I utilize Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Collaborative Therapy techniques. I believe clients have the power to change themselves however at times life gets in the way and families forget their strengths and gifts. I guide families to share what successes they have had, times when these successes have useful and when the successes have not been useful. At times families and couples outgrow their old way of communicating and interacting, I highlight this and work to develop new ways of helping families and couples communicate and interact. I help families and couples understand the importance of acknowledging their not liking issues when they arise however not dwell on this but identify the issue, identify solutions and work together to implement the solutions. I believe many times people stay stuck in the unhappiness of the issue which causes them to not use their energy to work at solutions. I try to provide a safe space for all to share their issues. My therapeutic goal is help and serve all in their journey to rediscover themselves, as individuals and part of the family system, and improve upon this.
