Message from Therapist

It is an honor to be able to accompany you on what I imagine must at this very moment seem like a difficult, overwhelming and uncertain time in your life. I consider it a sacred mission to provide you with guidance and support on this journey, whether it be by helping you to process painful trauma that you may have experienced in your lifetime or by helping you to obtain the necessary tools and knowledge that you need to address other issues with which you might be currently struggling. I am committed to providing services with compassion, integrity and in a way that helps you not only to find and use your voice but to also to experience the joys of not only knowing but also believing that you are made in the image of Christ so that you may begin to live your life in that Truth.


Practice Info

Bio:
I am a bilingual (Spanish and English) Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Dallas, Texas with a demonstrated history of extensive experience working in the mental health care field.

I graduated from Southern Methodist University in 2003 with a B.A. in English and Psychology in 2003 and from Dallas Baptist University with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology in 2012. Work experience includes: working in psychiatric facility, outpatient counseling, community mental health center counseling, Youth and Family Centers Counseling providing parent and child support, working with families, and working in private practice providing individual counseling.

I specialize in trauma counseling with a focus on helping children, adolescents and adult men and women recover from childhood abuse, domestic violence and other traumatic experiences. I have also worked with young adult women on a variety of issues specific to their stage of life, including: issues with depression and anxiety, issues with unhealthy relationship patterns, family of origin issues, managing the stress of college life, low self-esteem and/or sense of self-worth, and struggles with living life joyfully as singles. I am also passionate about working with teens to help them to recover from issues common in the adolescent stage of development, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bullying and self-harm. Additionally, I am one of the few bilingual therapists who is certified in EMDR therapy, which is a therapy modality designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

I've been a guest on Guadalupe Radio and have a strong devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
