Get to know me

HCTS Services and history

I’m a proud Mexican immigrant, and since 1994, I have been providing mental health services. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Universidad de las Americas, Puebla, Mexico, and have been dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges ever since. In 2001, I moved to Florida, USA, and later worked in various states including Illinois, Texas, and Washington, which enriched my clinical expertise and broadened my understanding of diverse cultural perspectives and needs.

With 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in individual, couples, and family therapy. I hold a Master’s degree in Systemic Family Therapy, with a focus on Couples and Marriages through a Narrative Therapy lens, from CRISOL Institute (2000) and Master in Family Therapy certificate from CENCALLI Institute (1998). I’m also certified as a Clinical Supervisor, Hispanic Minority Specialist, and Children’s Mental Health Specialist, and trained in several evidence-based practices, including TF-CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, PCIT, and DBT.

Over the years, I have worked in various clinical settings and nonprofit organizations, specializing in areas such as Foster Care, Juvenile Services, Immigrant Support, and Sexual Abuse Survivors. My leadership roles have allowed me to supervise clinicians and provide vital services to vulnerable populations, shaping my holistic and culturally responsive approach to therapy.

In 2009, I opened my private practice to offer personalized therapy that acknowledges the unique cultural contexts of each client. My approach combines Systemic Narrative Therapy with strength-based and solution-focused methodologies, empowering clients to reclaim their inner strength, heal from past trauma, and build meaningful, fulfilling lives.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and personal growth, I invite you to begin therapy with me. Together, we can work toward creating a life that reflects your true potential.
