My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I draw from approaches like CBT and DBT, but more than anything, I believe therapy works best when it's real, collaborative, and human. Every person has their own story, their own strengths, and their own way forward, and I deeply respect that.

I care a lot about the people I work with and the relationships we build within the therapy space. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where we make sense of what hurts, notice what’s getting in the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and true to who you are.

I provide a safe, confidential, HIPAA-compliant space grounded in cultural humility and respect. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, mood disorders, and work or collegiate stress. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and systems-oriented, integrating CBT, EFT, IFS, attachment work, and ABA. I value measurable progress and use tools such as PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to guide care. I begin with a comprehensive assessment of personal, cultural, and environmental factors, then develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans with clear goals and regular progress reviews. Sessions combine cognitive restructuring with skills training and mind-body techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation and paced breathing to reduce anxiety and trauma responses.

I am a bilingual (Spanish-fluent) therapist, LCSW, CCBT, licensed in Texas and Illinois with over 20 years of experience. I earned my MSW from Loyola University Chicago and my BA in Human Services from Kendall College, receiving the Distinguished Student Award. I completed intensive Spanish language study in Mexico and Costa Rica. My career spans Alzheimer's care (Distinguished Service Award), Director of Social Services in skilled nursing, discharge coordination at Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital, police liaison and crisis responder, and community mental health serving diverse and underserved populations.

I have a particular passion and specialty in working with the LGBTQ population, and I also enjoy helping patients address depression and mood concerns, anxiety disorders, trauma, self-criticism and shame, grief and loss, major life transitions, social discontent, and medical conditions such as HIV/AIDS. I work with adults across the lifespan and strive to create an affirming and inclusive therapeutic environment. My work with each patient is individualized and guided by their needs and collaboratively defined goals. Patients can expect a warm, authentic, and direct therapeutic style. My approach is primarily skills-based, most often drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, within a client-centered and attachment-focused relationship. Therapy often explores how perspective, assumptions, and self-narratives contribute to distress, with practical action plans to support growth. I view therapy as a collaborative process aimed at meaningful change and a more fulfilling, values-driven life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience across a wide range of mental health and social service settings, including academic outpatient clinics, community health centers, residential programs, clinical research, the VA, EAP services, and HIV/AIDS service organizations. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Saint Louis University and a Master of Social Work in Clinical Social Work/Mental Health from Washington University in St. Louis.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience providing counseling to individuals, teens, couples, and families. I am licensed in 12 states and have worked across diverse clinical settings, delivering both in-person and telehealth care.

I am open, approachable, supportive, caring, and empathetic. I create a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel safe to talk things through at their own pace. I value trust, collaboration, and respect, and believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard and understood.

I begin with a comprehensive assessment that explores personal history, current concerns, and potential solutions. From there, I collaborate with clients to develop individualized treatment goals and a practical plan tailored to their needs, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds.
