Healing is a mutually transformative experience. Maybe you’ve avoided therapy because society told you something is wrong—or because mental health carried shame in your family or culture. Nothing is wrong with you. I am here to walk alongside you in a process of healing that centers your experiences and strengths.

I specialize in working with children, families, and caregivers who want to identify their cultural strengths, process generational and cultural wounding, and build resilient relationships. As a bilingual therapist, I provide therapy in English and Spanish across the lifespan in diverse settings, including schools, clinics, and community organizations.

I work with clients navigating:

• Attachment ruptures and relational trauma

• Betrayal trauma and infidelity

• Sex/porn addiction or sexual compulsive behaviors

• Cultural or generational wounding

I collaborate closely with families to foster healing, growth, and empowerment, helping clients thrive within their cultural context and strengthen community connections.

My Approach

I believe therapy is a mutually transformative relationship. Healing happens through connection, trust, and reflection. I regularly share my experiences in the therapeutic relationship to help clients engage in growth-fostering relationships both inside and outside therapy.

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and strength-based, tailored to each client’s unique needs, identity, and goals. Together, we explore patterns in relationships and culture, uncover strengths, and cultivate sustainable growth and well-being.

Background & Experience

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with a Ph.D. in Counseling, trained as a Registered Play Therapist™, IP-CST, and Certified Partner Trauma Therapist. My training also includes Sandtray Therapy Certification, with a focus on play therapy, advocacy, and liberatory practices for racialized and minoritized communities.

I began my clinical work in community-based settings, supporting Spanish-speaking immigrant families through individual and group counseling in schools, detention centers, and community clinics. I have collaborated with interdisciplinary teams of teachers, social workers, attorneys, and CASA to provide holistic, multimodal services.

I also have experience teaching and supervising counselors-in-training, facilitating research that centers community voices, and supporting disaster mental health, including response efforts after Hurricane María in Puerto Rico. I continue to collaborate with clinicians in Puerto Rico to provide play therapy education and consultation.

I carry both marginalized and privileged identities, which informs my ongoing commitment to self-reflection, professional growth, and culturally responsive practice. I regularly attend workshops, peer consultations, and continuing education to ensure my practice remains inclusive, ethical, and effective.
