About
As a bilingual therapist with over five years of experience working with teens and young adults, I create a supportive, practical space where we can understand what’s holding you back and build the tools you need to move forward—on and off the field.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a master's degree in clinical counseling and over 5 years of experience in the mental health field, including the past four years providing direct therapy. I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults, supporting them through a range of emotional and behavioral challenges while providing a supportive space for growth and healing. My approach is client-centered, practical, and goal-oriented. I integrate principles from therapy, sports psychology, and coaching to help clients build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and develop meaningful, lasting change.
I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to effectively support a diverse client population and provide culturally responsive care. Originally from Venezuela, I moved to St. Louis at the age of 16. I have also traveled to over 20 countries, shaping my cultural awareness and ability to connect with clients from a wide range of backgrounds.
At 32, I bring both clinical training and real-world perspective to my work, helping clients move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in St. Charles, MO usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in St. Charles, MO offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Ignoring issues can build resentment and allow a problem to grow. Thankfully, there’s an option for families who want to solve a problem in their lives — family therapy or counseling.
If you’re ready to take the next step, call our office at Thriveworks Counseling in St. Charles, MO, today at (314) 370-1811.
Many families can benefit from attending therapy. A few common reasons for seeing a mental health provider include:
Family therapy is a form of treatment that helps families deal with their issues and create stronger relationships. During each therapy or counseling session, your provider will explore your family’s roles, rules, and patterns of behavior to help you find healthier and more productive ways of interacting with each other.
Mental health professionals can help your family manage a wide variety of situations. Your family therapist or counselor may use one or more therapeutic techniques depending on your family’s specific issues.
Family therapy and counseling typically focus on teaching things like:
One common type of therapy is called family systems therapy. This type of therapy focuses on the idea that every family is a unique system with its own structure. Family systems therapy focuses on teaching communication and conflict resolution approaches and aims to change the unspoken rules and roles within a family.
Your provider might also approach the problem using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which aims to reframe dysfunctional patterns of thought and behavior. Supportive family therapy is another approach that emphasizes creating an open and supportive environment for everyone to share their emotions.
The type of therapy you receive and the length of time you spend in family therapy largely depend on your issues and goals. Every family is unique, and your family’s treatment plan will be individualized to you.
