Program Manager, Mental Health Services

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor – Supervisor with fifteen years of experience working with the general public and eight years of experience as a school counselor in public education. My experience ranges from young children (minimum 6 y/o) to adults (maximum 60 years old). I find it rewarding to work with adults living with symptoms of chronic or situational anxiety and / or depression. I have effectively treated clients dealing with feelings of anxiety, depression, life changes (transitions), grief and loss, victims of crime or abuse, relationship problems, trauma, anger management, and parenting issues.

My strongest traits are listening, giving supportive feedback, and empathy. My "go to" theoretical counseling approaches with clients include solution-focused counseling, mind-body medicine, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing. I also use Attachment Theory based approaches such as EFT, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness based approaches.

 

Seeking help and guidance for change is already progress towards a happier future. I am happy to work with you and look forward to the incredible growth we can make together.

Mis rasgos más fuertes son escuchar, brindar comentarios de apoyo y empatía. Mis enfoques de asesoramiento teórico "ir a" con mis clientes incluyen asesoramiento centrado en soluciones, medicina de cuerpo y mente, terapia conductual cognitiva centrada en el trauma y entrevistas motivacionales.

I am a recent licensed graduate of the University of Houston’s Graduate College of Social Work, passionate about overcoming the mental health stigma and advocating for the accessibility to mental health services to enhance the well-being of all individuals, with a particular focus on underserved communities. My strong suits include creating an environment of inclusivity, cultural humility, empathy, active listening, encouraging self-care, and a commitment to work alongside the client to explore challenges and interventions for a positive therapeutic outcome.

I have experience providing services to individuals, families, and groups in various capacities, including crisis work, violence prevention, and hospital social work. Most of my experience has been working at local non-profits in the Houston area, such as The Red Cross, Houston Children's Charity, Houston Area Women's Center, and Memorial Hermann Hospital Medical Center.

 

I provide services to children, adolescents, and adults in a family or individual setting. The therapeutic approaches offered include elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief-Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. 

 

Mental health is equally important as physical health. Let's work together so you feel empowered to face daily life challenges and stress by gaining the emotional intelligence and coping skills for a happier and more satisfying future.

 

Soy trabajadora social con licencia recién graduada del programa de postgrado de la Universidad de Houston.

Mis puntos fuertes incluyen la creación de un ambiente de inclusión, humildad cultural, empatía, escucha activa, animarte a practicar el autocuidado y el compromiso de trabajar junto al cliente para explorar dificultades e intervenciones para un resultado terapéutico positivo.

​

Tengo experiencia con ofrecer servicios a individuos, familias y grupos en diversos campos que incluyen trabajo de crisis, prevención de violencia y trabajo social en un hospital. Mi trabajo ha sido principalmente con organizaciones locales sin fines de lucro en el área de Houston, como la Cruz Roja, Houston Children' Charity, el Centro de Mujeres del Área de Houston y el Hospital Memorial Hermann. Brindo servicios de consejería a niños, adolescentes y adultos a nivel familiar o individual. 

 

Los enfoques terapéuticos ofrecidos incluyen elementos de terapia cognitiva conductual, terapia breve centrada en soluciones e intervenciones motivacionales. 

 

La salud mental es igualmente importante como la salud física. Trabajemos juntos para que te sientas empoderado para enfrentar el estrés o dificultades del día a día desarrollando la inteligencia emocional y las habilidades para hacer frente a un futuro más feliz y satisfactorio.
