Life transitions can be exciting yet overwhelming, whether you’re starting college, beginning a new job, or stepping into a new stage of your life. I enjoy working with individuals navigating these moments of change and helping them find balance, confidence, and clarity along the way. My office is conveniently located just 10 minutes away from UTSA Main Campus, making it an accessible space for students adjusting to college life and young adults finding their footing in new chapters.

I enjoy working with individuals who want to better understand their attachment style and learn how it impacts the way they connect with others. Whether you’re navigating patterns in romantic relationships, friendships, or family dynamics, our work together will focus on building awareness and developing healthy ways of relating. You will be met with a warm, nonjudgmental space where we move at your pace. With patience and compassion, I will guide you in learning the skills necessary to create and sustain the kind of relationships you truly want.

As a first-generation American born to Mexican parents, I understand firsthand how deeply culture shapes our experiences, values, and the way we view mental health. I strive to provide multiculturally sensitive counseling that honors your unique background and the cultural factors that influence your story. Whether you’re navigating the balance between different cultural expectations, exploring identity, or addressing generational patterns, I will approach our work with respect, curiosity, and understanding. Together, we’ll navigate your mental health journey through a multicultural lens that embraces all parts of who you are.

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma—whether it’s a single event, ongoing abuse (physical, emotional, or sexual), or deep attachment wounds. I want to hear your story and help you move toward a place where you no longer feel like you have one foot in the past and one foot in the present. Using EMDR therapy, I’ll guide you in processing and releasing painful memories so they no longer hold the same power over you. My approach is patient, gentle, and grounded in compassion.

My therapy style is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR. These are the tools you’ll learn and practice in our sessions to help you better understand yourself and make meaningful changes. While I use these modalities as a framework, my approach is also gentle, affirming, and collaborative. I will gently guide you while holding space for your experiences and emotions. One of my graduate professors once said that the most important thing in the therapy room is the therapeutic relationship and I truly believe that. You can expect me to be warm and supportive, to hold you accountable when needed, to be serious when the moment calls for it, and to also find space for laughter and connection along the way.
