I am a Texas LPC. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field in various roles. I have a deep passion for working with people experiencing the effects of trauma. People are often nervous about beginning therapy; either they don't know what to expect or they've had some bad experiences in the past. We will collaborate to find the best strategies for you. We will talk about some things directly; we will address other things indirectly; each of these approaches work in different ways to assist you in processing and letting go of the pain and gaining new perspectives. I am certified by the Veteran's Health Administration to use the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale. I am also trained in Trauma-focused CBT. I am also a menopause coach, which means I can use both my coaching knowledge regarding menopause alongside therapy to address these women's issues. When you know something needs to change but aren't sure what to do, reach out to me. We can work together to find solutions. I always say, "If you want something different, you've got to do something different." The first step can be the most difficult. Let's connect!

Now accepting NEW clients with daytime and limited evening availability! Every person has a story to tell, a life that matters. I have always been a listener and value the importance of someone's story. I work with teenagers and women who have been through traumatic experiences, who have a story to tell. My desire is that my clients have a safe, warm place where they feel comfortable opening up. I aim to make sure that every client feels seen, heard, and valued as they navigate through their trauma, anxiety, depression, and daily life struggles.

I’ve spent the earlier years of my life feeling lost and like I didn’t belong or just that I was so behind it was almost impossible to catch up. The way everyone else showed up in the world so seamlessly and moved about their space was fascinating to me, inspiring too - but ultimately more and more isolating. As everything continued to feel deeply off, I began to embark on a healing journey through therapy, spirituality and movement. As this journey has transformed me and my energy, it also became the way I desire to help others. The modalities I integrate with can include Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Expressive Arts. I understand the sensitivities around life’s challenges and the profound impact it can have on our lives and my hope is that therapy will empower you for positive changes. Start your healing journey today and reach out to me via email or cell. If we are not a good fit, i'll provide you with referrals to make sure you get the help you need.

I grew up in Dallas and always dreamed of becoming a counselor and creating a practice that helps individuals and couples with concerns and issues that have taken over their happiness. I grew up in a Mexican household where mental health was not believed to be something you sought help for. “You just have to get over it” was what I was told. When I went away to college, my outlook was expanded, and I sought counseling for myself. At that point, I realized the benefits and ultimately, the results of being in therapy. Now as a counselor, I see my clients growing, healing, and overcoming obstacles they feared they would never overcome. It is the most rewarding feeling in the world and now my purpose is to continue this journey to help others. *Treatment philosophy I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for my clients. My goal is to provide a healing space where trust and vulnerability can flourish. During the first session, I focus on understanding my clients by exploring their concerns, past traumas, recent life changes, and current coping strategies. Subsequent sessions are more flexible, centering on present challenges. Over time, I identify behavioral patterns that may contribute to anxiety and depression. With compassion, empathy, and a strengths-based approach, I aim to offer a safe and inclusive space where individuals from all backgrounds can heal, grow, and reach their full potential. *Practice description Love Roots Therapy focuses on the mental health needs of adults, adolescents, and couples. Our practice provides virtual and in person counseling sessions depending on the preference of our clients. Our team is dedicated to helping patients achieve and enhance their psychological and spiritual well-being by using a variety of psychological modalities. Our counselors strive to meet our clients “where they are”. We provide an accepting environment using tools to help reframe and understand unconscious beliefs that keep us from moving forward. Our counselors work collaboratively with individuals to identify their goals, aspirations, and desired outcomes. We support individuals in developing strategies, action plans, and coping mechanisms to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. The counseling process aims to empower individuals, fostering a sense of agency and control over their lives.

I reside in Texas, but I am a Mississippi girl with a deep southern accent. I see clients in person or remotely who reside in the state of Texas. I received a master's degree in counseling from Liberty University where the curriculum combines Psychology and Theology. It is my desire to utilize both the truth of God's word and the wisdom of God's works in practice. I want to inspire and empower others to make the small consistent changes that change a mind and life.
