Therapists in McAllen, TX

As a Queer Hispanic Female, I have a passion as a therapist to support fellow LGBTQIA+ clients with things unique to our experience and lives such as coming out, working through relationships with straight friends and family, developing meaningful, healthy sexual connections with our partners, and general healing with compassion. This is what I love most about this work! I have experience working with adults and couples encompassing a wide variety of topics.

Taking the first step to book an appointment can be scary and uncomfortable. By seeking help, you’re admitting there’s an issue you’ve tried your best to deal with but ultimately feels out of your control. Furthermore, sticking to therapy means change and even change that benefits us can be scary. My role is to help make that process easier and with time have you realize that therapy is the best gift you can give yourself.

You are light. You are wisdom. You are deserving of experiencing moments of joy and relief. Pause....take a deep breathe. Exhale. That moment belongs to you. It is autonomous and free. Sometimes our walk through life can feel daunting. It can be tiring. There are moments where we simply need support in carrying that weight as it can be confusing to understand all that we feel and why we are feeling it. But we keep walking in order to survive. We become good at survivng as that is all we may know. Unknowingly however we need connection, love, and community. So thank you for the moral courage to be here today investing in you.
