I am curious, open, and I love making connections. I enjoy getting to know who you are and building a safe space that is just for you. With an integrative approach, we will work together to explore your presenting concerns, develop new insights, and practice new skills to apply outside of therapy.

I was born and raised in Laredo, Texas and have been living in the Austin metropolitan area for over 10 years. I enjoy working with individuals who come from all walks of life. My heart is in working with the Hispanic community – to provide psychoeducation on how culture plays a role in our mental health, relationships, and life’s outcomes.

I have witnessed so many clients experience breakthroughs and positive change in their lives. I am honored to help guide you towards healing and greater life satisfaction.
