Work HistoryHello! I am LPC-Associate located in Houston, Tx who specializes working with Teens and Adults who struggle with Anxiety and Depression, and I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I am a bilingual therapist of Nicaraguan background born and raised in Houston, Tx who offers convenient online booking for online appointments or in person services. If you are you experiencing severe life stressors, or if it feels like your life is unraveling in ways you never felt before, or it feels like no one understand what you are going through, like the depression and anxiety is too overwhelming and everyday stressors are taking a toll on your life. I will be here to walk with you and help you explore different options to cope with those situations so you can be better prepared to face them in the future. It won't be something that happens overnight, but I will be patient and will be there by your side. I will help you learn to manage your anxiety and depression and also learn how to cope with those everyday life stressors. I hope that through this process you can learn to become more motivated for your future and learn to become your best self to transform your life. It is time to find out who YOU are. So Let’s do this! In my free time, I like to spend time with my family and husband. I love to o the gym, watch movies, read fiction books, and play with my new golden retriever puppy Winter. Contact (832) 569-7673 for a consultation.
