- LMFT
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I bring over a decade of compassionate, culturally responsive counseling experience. My practice centers on supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges, with specialized expertise in trauma recovery, family dynamics, and women's mental health.
I offer a warm, integrative approach that honors each client's unique cultural background and personal journey. My work focuses on addressing depression, relationship conflicts, life transitions, and healing from past experiences. I am particularly committed to supporting young adults, multicultural communities, and individuals working through intimate personal challenges.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My bilingual practice allows me to serve diverse communities with understanding and depth.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
