Education
UH Victoria, Master of Education, Community Counseling, 2016 — A degree in counseling prepares individuals to support others in managing emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. Students learn foundational theories of human development, therapeutic techniques, ethics, and cultural competency. Through coursework and supervised clinical experience, graduates gain the skills needed to provide effective counseling in a variety of settings, such as schools, mental health clinics, or private practice. This degree is often a stepping stone toward licensure as a professional counselor.
Work HistoryI am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and the founder of Motivations Counseling, with offices in Sugar Land and Katy, Texas. With over 14 years of experience, I specialize in trauma-informed psychotherapy, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I also provides psychological evaluations for immigration cases, including I-601/I-601A waivers, VAWA, U-Visa, and T-Visa petitions, offering USCIS-compliant reports statewide via secure telehealth .
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered counseling, emphasizing empathy, trust, and collaboration.
At Motivations Counseling, I lead a diverse team of therapists fluent in multiple languages to serve the community's varied needs . We offer both in-person and telehealth sessions.
