I believe that every person has the ability to grow, change, and thrive—to find hope, purpose, and fulfilling relationships. Life can bring many challenges, but I am passionate about walking alongside my clients as they overcome struggles, heal from pain, and rediscover their inner strength. My goal is to help each person move toward wellness, resilience, and a more meaningful life.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, meeting each client where they are on their life journey. Together, we focus on achieving their personal goals—whether that’s finding purpose, strengthening relationships, improving communication, building self-esteem, or working through depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, or life transitions. I strive to create a nurturing and safe space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and accepted.

My approach is both relational and systemic, focusing on the whole person and the context of their experiences. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. For those who desire it, I offer Christian counseling to integrate faith and spiritual values into the healing process.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Woman’s University. I also hold a Master’s degree in School Counseling and advanced certificates in Counseling and Conflict Resolution from Dallas Baptist University (DBU). I am fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, and I enjoy connecting with clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
