Role: Mental Health Therapist and Latine Student Community Liaison
Education: Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW), The University of Texas at Austin
How I work with students: I offer students a therapeutic space where they can feel seen, heard, and supported without judgement. I’m mindful about meeting students where they are as we collaborate on their mental health goals. My therapeutic style infuses a variety of theories, approaches, and frameworks, including client-centered, strengths-based, solution-focused, multicultural and social justice perspectives, queer/feminist/Black feminist theory, and liberation psychology. In addition to being a trauma-informed therapist, I remain informed on how capitalism and white supremacy impact our beliefs, thoughts, behavior, and mental health. My goal is to help students feel empowered by enhancing self-awareness, engaging coping strategies, shifting mindsets, and aligning to their values and life goals.
Professional interests: Anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, identity exploration, relationship challenges, family dynamics, motivation and procrastination, trauma, Latine issues, LGBTQ+ issues, men’s issues, emotions management, body image, negative self-talk, self-empowerment, technology use concerns, and sleep issues.
Approach to wellness: Meaningful time with friends, loved ones, my dog, and myself. Rest and joy are a must. I enjoy playing volleyball, pool/billiards, bowling, walks in nature/parks, bike rides, and good food.
