Why Work With Me

As a proud Mexican American and bilingual therapist, I intimately understand the push to honor family expectations, juggle multiple identities, and still yearn to belong somewhere fully. Guided by values and therapeutic excellence—shaped by my leadership program at Texas Christian University (TCU)—I bring warmth, cultural humility, and evidence-based insight into every session.

I provide online therapy across Texas for high-achieving adult children of immigrants and those raised by emotionally immature parents. Many of my clients are navigating the unique mix of bicultural identity, professional demands, and the emotional weight of family history. In our work together, we’ll untangle generational trauma, strengthen your inner trust, and release the need to people-please to help you feel more authentic in your relationships, career, and sense of self—you’re seen here, and your story matters.

My approach integrates DBT for emotional balance, Attachment-focused and Polyvagal work for relational and nervous system healing, and IFS to help all your parts feel seen and safe. Expect real conversations, powerful insights, and moments of laughter, tears, and transformation. Together, we’ll co-create a space where you can finally breathe, feel, and come back home to yourself.

  • Strategies to help you regulate emotions, stay grounded, and navigate distress with greater ease.

  • Strengthen your relationship with yourself and others through safety, self-trust, and connection.

  • Restorative practices to help calm your nervous system and restore a sense of inner safety and resilience that supports deep, body-based healing.

  • Explore and heal the protective and wounded parts of you—so you can lead your life from a grounded, compassionate Self.

BEYOND THE THERAPY ROOM

Healing requires balance, and I model that in my own life: continuously learning, exploring, disconnecting, and recharging in meaningful ways. Whether through travel, quiet nature walks, or shared laughter with my husband and dogs—I'm committed to healing rooted in real-life experience and joy. I encourage professional adults to cultivate hobbies outside the office—reminding us of the beautiful, expansive world waiting to be discovered.

Trauma lives in the body—and so does healing.
