When emotions become overwhelming, it can be difficult to separate what you’re feeling from what you actually want for yourself. Adriana helps teens and adults sort through those experiences, understand what may be driving them, and reconnect with a stronger sense of identity and direction.

Adriana earned her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UTSA and brings experience from a behavioral hospital setting, where she supported individuals through crisis stabilization, substance-use recovery, significant stress, and major life transitions. That background has shaped her ability to sit with difficult emotions while helping clients look beyond the immediate crisis and toward what comes next.

Authenticity and honesty are central to Adriana’s work. Rather than asking clients to minimize difficult experiences or rush toward feeling better, she encourages genuine exploration of emotions, patterns, relationships, and identity. Her goal is to help clients rebuild self-trust, recognize what matters to them, and create changes that feel true to the person they want to be.

Adriana brings that same emphasis on individuality into her life outside of counseling. She enjoys video games, music, fashion, singing, and fitness.
