About Us
We Care. We Listen. We Believe.
We are the change that we wish to see in the world
How We Work
We value the uniqueness of every individual, so we strive to find counseling techniques that work for you. We understand the fears of being vulnerable in counseling, so we work to provide a safe atmosphere by being open minded, non-judgmental, understanding, and accepting. We empower our clients by listening, educating, advocating, and projecting positivity.
Why We Counsel
We counsel because we remember our past struggles in life, when we needed help it was difficult finding counselors that could connect culturally and relate to our lives. We quickly realized that more diverse counselors were needed in the community. We became counselors to break cultural barriers and encourage minorities and underserved populations to obtain counseling.

Sexual abuse, domestic abuse, and other traumatic experiences impact us for a lifetime. The experiences often leave us feeling confused, doubtful, anxious, sad, and worthless. These traumatic experiences can shake the very core of our being, impact our relationships, and make us wonder how to move on and live fulfilling lives. Sometimes these horrible things make us feel lost and stuck in life.
During these times, our deepest desire is to find peace, healing, validation, and worthiness. By utilizing a theistic existential approach, together, we can rediscover your strengths & values and who you are; and with the tools of Trauma Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, & CBT we can work towards finding your voice, feeling in control, and defeating negative thoughts.
I know what it feels like searching for genuine help and unable to find it, unable to find that counselor that can connect on a cultural and spiritual level. This is one reason I wanted to become a counselor…to touch lives and make a difference in the field of mental health.
I received my Bachelor of Science in Christian Care & Counseling from Oral Roberts University and I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Colorado Christian University. I have experience helping adults overcome the emotional & mental burden of traumatic experiences.
My areas of training pertain to individual therapy specific to anxiety, PTSD, depression, stress management, self-discovery, self-esteem, and Christian counseling. It would be my honor to walk this journey with you to help find hope and restoration. Don't be afraid to take a chance and try something new!

I believe we are formed by different means such as environment, past experiences and so forth but sometimes those leave us with negative effects that persist into adult
life. This can leave a sense of inability to handle what life brings along whether that is within ourselves or within a relationship. Processing your experience is the first step to healing, getting closer to personal goals, attunement to self, and/or obtain overall insight to your own life.
Through my counseling experience, I have developed an integrated person-centered and trauma informed care model focusing on self-esteem, adjustments, anxiety, depression, among other issues that arise from traumatic experiences or other life changing situations.
I enjoy working with a diverse population and understand that each person has different needs thus employing therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Acceptance and Commitment, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Dialectical Behavior, Gottman, and Narrative therapy.
I am pleased to say I am Spanish-English bilingual and can extend my services to those who would rather express themselves in their first language or even in both.
