These challenges may include managing chronic mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, anxiety, or depression; dealing with sexual or physical abuse and neglect; or navigating family crises, such as supporting an LGBTQ teen.
As a first-generation Latinx, Mexican American woman, I have struggled, fought, and overcome many challenges, and I consider it a privilege to assist others on their journeys. Everyone needs someone who "breathes life" into them, offering affirmation, understanding, and connection, especially when dealing with intimate issues. I work with individuals and families facing various challenges, including school, work, relationships, and crises of faith, with a special focus on those who have endured traumatic experiences, whether adults or children.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. One of the most difficult parts of finding a therapist is finding a therapist that clicks with you. That’s part of the reason why I offer consultations prior to booking a full session with me! You and I both want to make sure that I’m someone that can help you in this walk of life that you’re currently in. I believe that every person is going to go through seasons where they need someone to meet them where they are and allow them to be vulnerable about their needs. I want to be able to be that for all of my clients while also giving them tools for growth.

It is vital for each client to feel comfortable with their counselor. Therapy works best when it is open and honest so that trust is built within sessions. The client and counselor work together as a team to find the problems, set goals, and put effort into the solutions so that the client can grow into who they desire to become.

I began my professional journey as a young adult working in various settings with people struggling to make better choices. As I worked with individuals from widely diverse backgrounds and walks of life, I began to appreciate the power of one hand reaching out. I became profoundly aware that most people are able to build a more fulfilling life, not because of good advice, but because another person was willing to walk with them, assist them in navigating unfamiliar territory, and be part of the process of discovering their potential.

Therapy is a powerful choice of self love and care. Living with unprocessed pain and change can block your clarity and freedom to pursue inner peace, life-giving relationships and living out your true worth and identity. My aspiration in the therapeutic relationship is to be a safe, empowering place to process life honestly. As everyone has physical and financial health, we also have mental, emotional and relational health. Our resources are invested in exterior aspects of our lives, so it is important to make as much, if not more, investment toward the inner self which affects every other area.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
