Life can at times present us with challenges beyond our abilities in that moment. Sometimes we need others -- family, friends and, at times, professionals -- to come alongside us and help us with these challenges. I see my therapeutic role as one of coming alongside my clients to help them navigate the challenges they may be experiencing. My therapeutic approaches vary based on the needs of the client in the moment. They include child-centered play therapy, cognitive behavioral play therapy, Theraplay-based activities, cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral mindfulness therapy. I am bilingual in English and Spanish.
My experience as a licensed professional counselor includes working in a social and emotional school setting with a focus on early childhood development and in both a community health center and private practice setting working with older children, adolescents and young adults. My focus on the early years is based on a desire to help build strong self-awareness of one's strengths and abilities that will become the firm foundation on which the rest of life is built.
I am currently taking United Healthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and Scott & White Health Plan.
