My journey as as a mental health professional began in 2007, shortly after graduating from Baylor University. My first role as Rehabilitative Case Manager involved working with individuals with serious mental health diagnoses. That initial experience motivated me to continue learning as much as I could about helping individuals with mental illnesses, and in 2010, I was awarded a Master's of Art in Clinical Psychology from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (formerly known as the University of Texas Pan American).
Shortly after, I moved to Austin, Texas and it was there that my passion for helping children & families was born. Throughout my time in Austin, I proudly wore the hats of Bilingual Therapist, Adolescent Counselor, Child Advocate Specialist, and Intake Specialist. In these roles, I worked directly with children, parents, and families both in the office setting and in clients' own communities.
During this time, I had the privilege of working alongside many innovative & highly skilled child professionals from organizations, such as the SAFE Alliance, CASA of Travis County, Bluebonnet Trails Community Services, and Williamson County Juvenile Services. I was also given the opportunity to learn from renowned experts & researchers in the fields of child mental health, child attachment, trauma, and play therapy. Drs. Karyn Purvis & David Cross, co-founders of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (aka TBRI), were instrumental to my approach of working with children from hard places and their parents/caregivers & families.
I couldn't have come this far if it were not for the very best teachers: the children, parents & families who graciously welcomed me into their homes & lives and trusted this "Guerra" to help reconnect and strengthen the child-parent bond and familial relationships.
It is an honor to bring this knowledge & experience to my hometown, mi tierra natal! Words cant describe how excited I am to give back to mi amada comunidad (my beloved community) y mi gente del Valle del Rio Grande (and the people of the Rio Grande Valley).
