My Approach to Therapy
As a dedicated, bilingual, Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate (Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)-Associate), supervised by Alejandra Sanchez, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-Supervisor), I provide an open-minded, empathetic space to support adults (18+) through individual counseling and couples counseling. I have met the professional counseling standards established by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, and I have earned recognition as a National Certified Counselor.
My goal is not only to make life more manageable, but to help you thrive. I tailor my work to each individual or couple in a culturally competent way because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all solution. I work to identify your specific needs and determine the most effective approach for you. My training includes a variety of therapeutic modalities, including evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), reality therapy, solution-focused therapy, and internal family systems, to name a few.
I received my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from The University of Texas El Paso. While in graduate school, I completed my practicum and internship with Family Service of El Paso, where I gained valuable experience working with diverse populations, including couples, and addressing a variety of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), behavioral challenges related to substance use, trauma, and relationship issues.
I see therapy as a collaborative and supportive process where we work together in a safe, non-judgmental environment to identify the root causes of challenges. My aim is to help transform pain and difficulties into hope, resilience, and personal growth.
