  • May 2022 - Jun 2023

  I'm a bilingual Counseling Intern pursuing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at St. Edward’s University. Providing support, creating safe spaces, and advocating for underserved and marginalized populations is what inspired me to become a mental health professional. I'm dedicated to anti-racism and the decolonization of counseling spaces. I'm passionate about working with adolescents, adults, groups, couples and families because she believes that connection and community is integral to our wellbeing.I'm interested in working with loss in its many forms such as: death loss, a relationship loss or separation, losses related to immigration, a pet loss, and others. I gravitate towards incorporating attachment, narrative, internal family systems, and relational-cultural theories to a trauma-informed clinical approach. Central to my approach is collaborating with my clients and the belief that each of us is the expert on our own lives. Show less
