About Therapy

We live in a world full of chaos and judgments.

It’s usually OTHER PEOPLE dictating how our lives should be.

Then, without even knowing us or where we come from, they criticize us for not living the path THEY think we should live.

All too often, those same people treat us like we don’t even exist… and then dump us at their convenience.

Going “above and beyond” for others…

You’re always there for your family and friends, but you never receive the same treatment from them. Once again, your needs are put on the back burner while you make the needs of others your priority.

It seems like you can never get it right – not feeling good enough and sometimes feeling like a failure.

Resentment and confusion grow because you’ve reached your wit’s end on appeasing others but can’t find the support you need when you’re looking for help.

I want to know who YOU are.

We’re all unique – each of us has different life experiences and stories.

Let me walk a mile in your shoes. Show me the world from your perspective. Help me feel what YOU feel.

My counseling environment is an empathetic, calming, and nonjudgmental space where you are 100% supported and encouraged to be YOU!!!

I’ll give you everything I’ve got!

I’ll bring my experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, mother, wife, teacher, educational diagnostician, and immigrant woman to understand and give you insight into your journey.

I’ll reassure you that you’re safe and can trust me. You have to be vulnerable to open up fully in therapy, but when you do, you can unleash your inner strength!

I’ll use various scientifically proven methods to guide you through the pain, uncertainty, and struggle so you can accept yourself and live a more fulfilling life.

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel!

I wholeheartedly believe that you have the grit and resilience to overcome what you’re facing right now.

I’ve had my dark moments and have my baggage. I’m human. But I know what it’s like to persevere through the storm and come out stronger from it.

You’re not alone in this; we’re in it together.

I can’t wait to meet you. Call today and we can get started with your free consultation: (210) 917-0548.

About Me

Relocating to a continent far away from my homeland that I was used to was not easy.

I immigrated to the United States with my family, and the adjustment was quite a challenge, given that I did not have any family or friends to lean on. People didn’t want to listen to me as soon as I opened my mouth to speak. The disgust on some of the faces was demoralizing. The struggle to adapt was real as depression set in. Having two children under the age of four at that time did not make it easy, but at the same time, they were the wind beneath my wings. I could not disappoint them. The desire to succeed was intensified.

I worked two jobs while going to school. Many days, I did not have the time to engage with my children as I took them to home daycare, and by the time I picked them up, they were asleep. Did this break my heart as a mother? You bet. However, these sacrifices were for a better future for them. People who did not know my life’s struggle and reality were quick to judge and categorize me. I had to keep my optimism and goals in mind to avoid caving in.

I became a teacher, and then a special education teacher, an educational diagnostician, a school counselor, and a licensed professional counselor. The reason behind my career choices is to be of help. I am a helper by nature.

I used to place people’s needs before mine, but I have since learned to fill my cup so I could pour from a full cup.

And yes, I am human! I love to eat and to sleep. These used to be on my resume as my hobby (but not any longer because some of my interviewers found it awkward 😊).

I am a mother of four amazing children who are also human, meaning they are not perfect either. I have a great and supportive spouse who has been through thick and thin with me (and we have had our marital struggles as well), and I have two lovely dogs who assure me that I am worth loving.

With my experiences, I understand where people I meet come from, and I can provide a safe environment where you can be YOU!!!
