| Practice Description: |
As a psychotherapist I specialize in helping people whose lives have been affected by Sexual Addiction/Compulsivity. I work with men and women who struggle with out-of-control sexual behavior, and whose problem has affected their physical, emotional, relational and spiritual lives. I also work with the spouses or partners of sexually addicted clients, as they have been affected by the problem and often present overwhelming feelings of betrayal, anger and confusion.
I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Texas, and I am bilingual, fully fluent, in English and Spanish. My background includes graduate studies both in Chile -my country of origin-, and the United States. I have specialized as a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT), through my training at the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals, with Dr. Patrick Carnes, the world renowned leader in the field.
In addition to providing counseling services to the English-speaking community, I offer the only Sex Addiction treatment program in Houston for addicted men and women and their families entirely in Spanish. Besides individual, couples and group sessions, I offer Sex Addiction Psycho-educational programs that provide clients with a solid foundation for recovery.
I am committed to providing top quality, confidential, specialized counseling services, in a caring, respectful and professional environment that is healing and empowering to clients. I believe that professional help can assist people achieve and maintain a solid recovery and restore, and sometimes even save, their lives.
