Female Therapists in Rio Grande City, TX

Taking the first step towards your mental health enrichment can be intimidating. Part of my initial work with my clients is to discuss any mental health stigmas or fears that may be challenging for them as they begin their mental health journey. My focus is to work with you in creating a personalized treatment with goals that reflect your uniqueness.

I know life can at times feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate on your own. I am so happy that you are taking the step to begin working through whatever concerns you may have. When we meet, I hope that you will find a safe place where we can explore these concerns and develop a plan that will have you living your best life. My role is to guide and support you in building the skills and confidence necessary to live your best life. My style is not always “easy”, I will sometimes push you past your comfort zone, but I will always be empathetic and patient.

Do you feel that you are surviving but you are not living life due to the pain that you have experienced? Often times we run away from the pain; we incorporate countless of ways to avoid it including through symptoms of anxiety, anxiety attacks, depression, substance, post-traumatic stress, adjustment disorders, anger, or any other means that will help us to not lean toward the pain. I often tell my clients, "You have to Feel in order to Heal," and this is where we take back our authentic power and we learn to thrive. Let me be the one to speak to that wounded part of YOU and allow me to say, you are able to HEAL!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas. The University of Texas at Arlington is where I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work. Being in the helping profession is what I wanted to do since I was a child. My professional experience began in 2016, as a therapist/case manager/discharge planner at a mental health hospital. Working with people in crisis was difficult, but it gave me an opportunity to learn how to handle crisis situations such as people who were suicidal/homicidal, severe depression and anxiety, struggling with psychosis, substance abuse and detoxing, and victims/perpetrators of abuse.

Do you want to build your resilience to power through your expected roles as an adult or as a newly adult in a manner that you can grow and find your purpose in this world? Do you feel you’re not meeting the expectations of loved ones, not understood, or feel inadequate? Assistance through therapy is a sign of strength and you are worth taking the first step. Having 31 yrs. of experience in education at all levels and 18 yrs. as a school counselor, allows my practice to offer a deeper understanding of the unique challenges that individuals face at each developmental stage.

Or perhaps you want to learn ways to create a healthier life balance. I strive to help you understand yourself better, improve self esteem and process painful experiences.
