My Background & Approach:
Native to Texas, I pursued my education at Texas A&M University, where I earned a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Spanish. Motivated by the transformative impact of study abroad programs, I diligently researched and saved my pennies to enroll in a Spanish immersion program in Guatemala. There, I submerged myself in intensive language learning and gained invaluable insights into communication, personal growth, and global perspectives. Building on my experiences, I furthered my education in San Antonio, where I completed an M.S. in Family and Individual Psychotherapy at Our Lady of the Lake University. My studies focused on delivering psychological services to Spanish-speaking populations, reflecting my commitment to cultural inclusivity and effective therapy practices. I am inspired by continuous education and am currently on the path to becoming an Internationally Credentialed Sand Tray Therapist.
Much of my clinical experience centers around intimate partner and domestic violence, trauma-related issues, life transitions, cultural dynamics, grief, shame, and concerns related to legal systems. I have facilitated group and individual therapy sessions in both English and Spanish, providing support to those who often feel overlooked, overwhelmed, and stuck.
My therapeutic style can be characterized as inquisitive, relational, down-to-earth, strengths-based, and infused with humor. At times, I incorporate non-verbal expression and exploration through creative methods to complement traditional talk therapy. My goal is to co-create a safe space where we can explore your goals and concerns at your own pace. By the end of our work together, my hope is that you feel emotionally lighter and more connected to yourself and those around you.
