About My Clients

Many of my clients are used to being the strong one—the one others rely on. On the outside, things may look steady, but internally there can be anxiety, self-doubt, or a constant sense of overwhelm. You might find yourself overthinking, second-guessing your needs, or feeling stretched thin in your relationships. Even when you’re doing your best, it can feel like something is missing or unsettled underneath.

My Background and Approach

My specialized areas include anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and acculturation. As a bilingual therapist, I am experienced in providing mental health support to BIPOC, LGBTQ+ individuals, as well as those with chronic illnesses or disabilities, and anyone who feels "othered." I utilize trauma-informed care to ensure a compassionate and understanding approach to each person's unique situation. I hold a Master of Clinical Social Work from The University of Houston, a Bachelor of Science in Advertising from The University of Texas at Austin, and completed PASEO Spanish Immersion Clinical Training in Peru. Additionally, I have a Certificate in Fundamentals of College Counseling from Rice University and a Certificate in Non-Profit Management from The University of Texas in San Antonio.
