I am certified in (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, trained in (CPT) Cognitive Processing Therapy, Certified in (IPT) Interpersonal Therapy, and trained in Motivational Interviewing and Children's Play Therapy. I earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University and have worked for the Local Mental Health Authority for four years before making a move to work in the Children and Adolescent Psychiatry Department for TTUHSC. While working at the Mental health Authority of El Paso I had the opportunity to work in the Crisis stabilization unit, and Veterans Clinic, the Central Outpatient services, and also for Court Services as a Forensic therapist. In addition I worked at EPBHS Psychiatric Hospital, . When working with clients I feel it is of utmost importance to maintain confidentiality and respect while assisting clients in the recovery process.

I believe myself to be a kind and caring therapist and do my best to maintain a professional environment for clients to to explore emotions and underlying discomfort while building a strong professional rapport and a strong therapeutic alliance. I invite you to participate in a journey of self-discovery, increased self-worth, while developing and fine-tuning mindfulness and inner peace. There is so much to be learned in this life, and it is a whole lot easier when the journey is not alone.
