About Adriana

PERSONALLY:

My story begins in Corpus Christi, my birthplace, and I was raised in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas. I served in the U.S. Army Reserve for 8 amazing years. I started working serving others in various capacities and found my passion was helping people through the hardest times in their life. In my free time, I enjoy adventures and exploring new places. I become giddy walking into new attractions or local small business restaurants. I ran my first marathon in 2022 - and will never do that again. I love traveling and immersing myself in new cultures. I’ve been fortunate to make memories with my partner in North America, Central America, Asia, and Europe. Life has so much goodness to offer; I hope to continue experiencing it and helping you find it for yourself as well.

PROFESSIONALLY:

I am an expert on listening to my clients and reflecting their feelings, beliefs, and meaning. I hold up a metaphorical mirror to help you see yourself and your life patterns. I enjoy working with people who feel stuck and want to make healthy and adaptive changes in their lives. I empower clients by helping them identify their current strengths and providing new skills to practice and insights to ponder. Humor, movie references, and half cliches are my go-to’s in sessions for rapport, connection, and points of reference. In therapy, you can explore your feelings, process your experiences, and have a safe space to vent & learn. I’m known to send clients articles or resources that pertain to the themes they’re working on in therapy. Check out my credentials to continue learning about me.

BIPOC | WOMEN | LGBTQIA+

We may all weather similar storms but that doesn't mean we're all in the same boat. Some of us are in yachts and some of us are in row boats. Regardless, we all deserve respectful, collaborative, and compassionate therapeutic care. People of color, women, and folks in the LGBTQIA+ community need therapy with someone who can honor their journey. With me, you will be respected, validated, and valued as a human being regardless of race, sexual orientation, disability, or gender. Your experience is unique to you and I won’t pretend to know I can relate 100%, but I will offer you the human compassion you deserve. I stand with you.
