My Approach – More than 20 Years of Experience

When I graduated from Medical School in Mexico and began practicing as a physician, I realized my patients needed more than medical treatment — they needed someone to listen to their emotional needs. After more than 24 years, I’ve learned that what we all truly seek is genuine connection.

Today, as a bilingual (Spanish/English) counselor in Austin, Texas, my passion is to help the Latino/Hispanic community and anyone seeking culturally sensitive care.

I am a:

• Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (Texas)

• Certified Group Psychotherapist (AGPA)

• Certified Imago Relationship Therapist & Workshop Presenter

I offer a confidential, judgment-free space — especially for those who have been historically marginalized.
