Hispanic and Latino Therapists in Richardson, TX

Societal norms have taught us we should be at a certain place in our life by a certain age, generational traumas don't exist, being one gender or loving one gender is an anomaly and that being "traditional" is the road map to a happy life. The unrealistic expectations for who we are can be suffocating that it leaves us numb with no one to turn to. I am here to be your sacred friend, a pillar in self-discovery and offer a different perspective. I am here to watch you snatch your power back and indulge in having grace with yourself during this time of self-identity through self-awareness, self-care, self-love and self expression.

Whether you can’t seem to manage your own impulses, anxiety or pain, or someone else’s choices have left you feeling stuck and in pain, it’s often hard to find a single safe person to telI. I want to be a safe place for you, where you feel it’s okay to be who you are. Together we can take a look at which ways of thinking and reacting are helping you reach your goals, and which parts of yourself may have helped you get to where you are but are now not as effective in helping you move forward. As you learn to see your whole story and learn new tools to respond in ways that line up with your true value, healing begins.

As a top honors graduate from Texas Wesleyan University, I have been trained by some of the best licensed professionals in the mental health field today.

As a client of mine, you will be asked to be an active participant in your therapy. The vast majority of my clients report more happiness and positive changes in their lives after only a short time as my client.

Our trauma is not merely an event; it's a deeply felt wound narrating stories of harm, neglect, and betrayal, deeply embedded in the fabric of our being. It interrupts our narrative, demanding to be acknowledged and engaged with. I believe sharing our story and mourning our wounds serves to both honor and restore dignity to the parts of ourselves that have faced shame and harm. My passion lies in assisting clients by helping them tell their stories and gently uncovering the pain, thereby revealing paths to healing and growth, leading to thriving life patterns, enriching relationships, and building a resilient, secure sense of self

I specialize in treating adults, children & adolescents with OCD, anxiety & other mental and behavioral health issues using evidence-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT) strategies including exposure & response prevention (ERP). My work is guided by research on the most effective theory, approach, and strategies for OCD & anxiety. I am available for traditional outpatient therapy as well as more intensive "in vivo" treatment in your home, school, car, or wherever your symptoms are most problematic. I offer these non-traditional services because OCD & anxiety are most effectively treated wherever they "live" in your daily life.

Aging, death, break ups, brain injury, major health diagnosis, addiction, family conflict, and dozens of life's other challenges are accompanied by grief. Grief and loss is part of a universal human experience that, despite it's commonality, is just as difficult every time for every one of us. As much as we'd like for these feelings to just disappear they can cause us to feel overwhelmed and hopeless until we find a way to integrate them, not "get over" them. I offer telehealth visits to adults and older adults in Texas and am accepting new clients.

When people are ready to go to therapy, generally, they understand that something in their life isn't working in the way that they might want. They don't want to continue feeling or doing the same things. Throughout the sessions, they might discover different aspects of themselves, build new habits, and reach the therapeutic goals that we set together. When therapy is over, life continues to be hard, and things continue to happen, but you now have a different perspective, a bag of coping tools, and the knowledge that you can always reach out. You know that you are not alone.

I love helping individuals grow to their fullest potential, as they utilize tools that reside within. My experience includes working in Private Practice settings and Veteran Mental Health/Rehabilitation facility. Additional experience has been gained by working in adolescent residential treatment, and intensive outpatient. My counseling experience has given me a natural ability to work with individuals, groups, and families of any culture or background. I have the ability to meet individuals where they are in life and help implement tools to grow. My expertise includes working with Veterans adjusting back to civilian life, adults, and adolescents. I modify therapy for your specific needs.

I strive to offer a welcoming and collaborative approach, ensuring that each client feels safe and supported as we navigate your healing journey together. My priority is to provide a comfortable and judgment-free environment where clients can freely express themselves and work towards boosting their self-esteem and confidence, ultimately enabling you to feel more equipped to navigate life’s challenges and feel an increased sense of happiness.

You might care for others but leave your needs behind. You are a complex, giving, normal person who in one way or another has taken hits in life. Perhaps traumatic experiences can cast a shadow over your life. I tend to work with those who are objectively quality, imperfect people but feel shame, abnormal guilt or other signals of denigrated self-worth, consciously or unconsciously. In addition to individual therapy and psychoanalysis, I offer therapy groups for anxiety, depression, isolation, and improving authentic, healthy communication.
