I have lived in Texas since 2014. I worked as a school counselor for 24 years. I am becoming a therapist now to continue helping people. I am bilingual (Spanish/English). I have training in a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, and grief counseling, among others. My approach We will work together using cognitive and behavioral skills in a supportive and goal-oriented environment to achieve the client's growth. My focus I focused on people 20 years old and beyond. I have experience working with young adults and adults in general. My communication style I communicate with warmth and empathy, creating a safe and supportive space. I listen actively, ask thoughtful questions, and gently guide clients toward their goals at a pace that feels comfortable for them. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to become a therapist started 35 years ago when I decided to study psychology and then guidance and counseling. I worked in schools as a counselor for 24 years, plus 2 years at the university level. I have been growing with time, and I realize I want to help people improve their mental health. I want clients to know that there is someone out there who cares about their mental well-being. My goals for you I collaborate with clients to identify meaningful goals and break them into small, achievable steps. Using evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I help them build practical coping skills, monitor progress, and stay motivated as they work toward lasting change. My first session with you In our first session, I want you to feel heard and listened to. We will go over the intake session that will include the mental health status, risk assessment, and other biopsychosocial information.
