About My Clients
I work with people who look capable on the outside but carry a lot on the inside. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, first-generation individuals, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds, though you don't need to fit any category to work with me. They come in with trauma, anxiety, shame, relationship patterns, or the feeling of living between two worlds. I see individuals and couples ages 15 and up, and offer sessions in Spanish when it's a good fit.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in Texas, EMDR Certified and IFS Level 2 trained. Before private practice, I worked as a bilingual teacher, a school counselor, and a program director in behavioral health, so I've seen how stress and trauma show up in families, schools, and careers. My approach is relational and integrative. I draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and DBT, along with attachment theory and mind-body work. Rather than rushing to a label, I stay curious about what your struggles are protecting and what you need to heal. We go at a pace that feels safe, paying attention to both your story and what's happening in your body. I'm also a 500-hour registered yoga teacher, and that shapes how I think about the nervous system and emotion. My goal is simple: to help you feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people make sense once we understand their story. I value curiosity over quick labels, and I try to honor both your strengths and your pain without minimizing either. I also believe healing happens in relationship, and that your culture, family, and identity belong in the room. Outside of sessions, I'm a lifelong learner and am currently pursuing doctoral studies in Mind-Body Medicine. I stay grounded through yoga, Pilates, and cycling, and I love travel, design, and creative projects. At home, my cat Figaro keeps me humble.
