As your therapist, I believe in being your sense of hope. I know that you are not here because of something that happened today, yesterday or even a week ago. You are here because whatever you are going through hasn’t gotten better over time. Despite your efforts to feel better, you haven’t found a solution that fully works. You have the desire to move forward but your options appear limiting. I understand how this can cloud your sense of direction. My job is to help you gain the clarity that you need. I’m here to believe in you, even on the days that you forget to believe in yourself.

I primarily work from a collaborative and strength-based perspective. I am the expert of creating change, but you are the expert of your life. Together, we collaborate our expertise and find what works best for your needs. I believe that change happens one step at a time… one day at a time. With hard work and dedication, we can achieve the life that you want to live.

My Qualifications and Education:

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Supervisor in the state of Texas. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology with a concentration in Marriage & Family Therapy from Our Lady of the Lake University, and my bachelor’s degree is in Psychology from the University of Houston.

Certifications & Additional Training: 

I have a certification in Psychological Services in Spanish-Speaking Populations. This means I received additional training to provide competent and culturally-sensitive psychotherapy services in Spanish as well.

I also completed additional training to receive the Gottman Level 1 certification. This training allowed me to learn more about research-based strategies designed to help couples with conflict management. The focus is to address gridlock concerns in your relationship by learning more about the dialogue used between one another when differences arise. The goal of this approach is to improve interactive patterns by enhancing each other’s understanding, dreams, values, trust, and commitments.
