About me
Feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Whether you're navigating relationship difficulties, work stress, or a major life transition, it’s completely normal to seek support. I'm here to help you move through difficult times by drawing on your strengths, increasing psychological insight, and working together to enhance your wellbeing.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families in both the United States and the UK. My approach is strengths-based and solution-focused, designed to empower you to develop practical tools and emotional resilience for everyday life.
I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and adjustment-related issues. My clinical background includes private practice and community-based mental health settings. I was a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and am now a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
Therapy with me is collaborative and goal-oriented. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and will sometimes offer exercises or reflections outside of sessions to support your growth. My intention is to meet you where you are in life—whether you’re feeling stuck, sad, or simply in need of someone to talk to—and help you create meaningful change.
Your mental health is priceless. Investing in yourself can improve not only your outlook on life but also your relationships with others and with yourself.

Training, qualifications & experience
I began my professional journey in 2000 with a Bachelor's degree in Expressive Therapy from the College of Santa Fe, followed by a Master’s in Community Counselling in 2007 from the same institution in New Mexico. In 2011, I became a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC #65726) through the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counsellors.
My experience spans over two decades and includes working in school-based health clinics, where I supported children, adolescents, and families facing behavioural challenges, relationship issues, grief, abuse, and trauma. In private practice, I provided therapy to individuals managing depression, anxiety, and life stressors. I've worked with diverse populations from a wide range of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, and have often supported Spanish-speaking clients in their native language.
In 2018, I relocated to the UK and am now a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), continuing to offer compassionate, culturally sensitive, and strengths-based therapeutic support.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Additional information
My services include more than just a one-hour weekly session. It's important that the therapeutic work continues in between sessions in order for you to achieve your goals sooner. To support my clients, I provide weekly guidance with follow-up emails that include resources and activities specific to the client's topics in session.
