My story/Mi historia
I am bilingual Licensed Independent Mental Health therapist/ Practitioner (LIMHP). I have double Masters degrees with depth of experience in conducting psychotherapy, mental health therapy for all ages and genders. I have over 12 years of experience working as LIMHP at large health systems in Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska, including the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, which has been my alma mater. I also worked internationally in Mexico City, Mexico, where I was born and raised before I got my training in the US. I am a native Spanish speaker. Besides, LIMPH, I also received my training and education as a clinical social worker. I have worked directly with children, teens, adults, with multiple ethnicities.

Me especializo en lo siguiente:
Anxiety/Ansiedad
Occasional anxiety is an expected part of life. You might feel anxious when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or before making an important decision. But anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. For a person with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time. The symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, school work, and relationships.
Couple and Family
Pareja y Familia
While traditional therapy focuses more on the individual, MFT examines how an individual’s behavior affects both the individual and their relationship as part of a couple or family. The theory behind MFT is that regardless of whether a problem appears to be within an individual or within a family, getting other family members involved in the therapeutic process will result in more effective solutions. MFT is goal-oriented and works toward an established end result. In recent years, MFT practitioners and groups have called for expanded approaches to traditional MFT training that incorporate more “real world” practices to integrate other therapies and become more inclusive of non-heterosexual couples and families.
Depression/Depresión
Mental Health/Salud Mental
Depression (major depressive disorder or clinical depression) is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. To be diagnosed with depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks.
Treatment for mental illnesses usually consists of therapy, medication, or a combination of the two. Treatment can be given in person or through a phone or computer (telemental health). It can sometimes be difficult to know where to start when looking for mental health care, but there are many ways to find a provider who will meet your needs.
