Therapists in Laguna Vista, TX

Greetings,  I am a bilingual and bi-cultural (English and Spanish) psychologist with more than 20 years of experience in providing psychological services. My main focus when doing psychotherapy is helping to clear the emotional obstacles that may be hindering or impairing your self-growth and psychological well-being. I will first sit down with you and find out what may be causing you distress or be obstructing your growth. The next step would be to co-create a therapy plan that is tailored for you.

My interests and experience include working with personality disorders, trauma, anxiety and depression. Additionally, I assist successful individuals with adjustment issues such as relationship problems, divorce, works problems and general stress. Many of my patients have attempted therapy several times before and are pleased with my unique approach to understanding and helping with their affliction or helping them remove limitations to a fulfilling and satisfying life. Being raised in the valley and training in the DFW metroplex, has given me experience working with a diverse population of patients. Also meet Pav my therapy dog!

My goal is to provide an inclusive and supportive therapy environment that allows a safe space to my clients to experience their emotions, share their struggles and challenges and grow and develop new skills that will help improve their life. If you are depressed, feeling anxious, have chronic stress, experiencing loss and grief, I can work with you in identifying your therapy needs. I believe that therapy should be individualized and tailored to each person.

Have you ever wondered if what you feel is going to end? If there is really a solution to your problems? Or, how are you going to manage to find acceptance in the difficult circumstances of life? To this and many other questions that I help my clients find their own answers. From the simplest to the most complex. From the conscious to the unconscious. My goal is to model a relationship with the client, provide him/her with tools that help them in their search for themselves. I am the lamp while you lead your own way. With me you will find your own mirror, a place where you will be who you are when you are with yourself.

Former Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius, once wrote, “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” As a mental health therapist associate from South Texas, I realize that therapy goes beyond the diagnosis realm and into a wider space of understanding, attunement, and healing. Renowned physician, Gabor Mate asserted that healing does not rely on getting rid of the pain but in increasing one’s capacity to be resilient to it. I honor you as a human, with many parts and crevices that showcase your authentic self. My approach is geared toward helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered; Be Here Now.
