Hi there, I’m Evelyn. I am currently completing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University and have completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology at Texas State University. I am a Qualified Mental Health Professional for my local mental health authority and certified in Mental Health First Aid. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, bienvenidos y gracias por la oportunidad de trabajar juntos en su salud mental. I have worked with a diverse background of individuals in both outpatient and inpatient settings ranging in age from children, adolescents, and adults. My studies have allowed me to explore various aspects of human behavior, mental health, and therapeutic techniques. Coursework in trauma informed care, family dynamics, person-centered techniques, and multicultural awareness have helped shape my approach to counseling.

I believe that mental health and emotional well-being are foundational to living a fulfilling life. After all your mental health is just as important as your physical health! Each person’s journey is unique, and I am deeply committed to helping my clients explore their experiences, discover their strengths, and build resilience. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe and welcoming environment where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered.

As a counselor intern, I am drawn to techniques like mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral strategies, narrative therapy, which I find are powerful tools in the healing process. In my work I am especially interested in supporting individuals facing:

Anxiety

Depression

Stress and Life Transitions

Self-exploration and Identity development

Grief and loss

Trauma

Family dynamics

Counseling is a collaborative journey, and I am honored to walk alongside each person I work with. I believe with the right support; people can achieve profound personal growth and healing. My role is to listen, support, and help you find the right tools and insights that will guide you through your journey. I look forward to the opportunity to be a part of your support system.
