Welcome! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Palm Beach Florida. I received my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Nova Southeastern University in 2002 and have been working in the mental health field since then. I have over 20 years of clinical experience and I have worked in various settings, in multicultural environments and basically all ages. I am Hispanic and fluent in Spanish.
The first session will include introductions, explanation of confidentiality and information gathering. You will be able to share about the issues leading to therapy and your expectations and goals, and this will help me create a plan for us to work through in future sessions.
I have a lot of empathy, I'm very down to earth and relatable. I treat my clients with respect and will never judge you. I have extensive clinical experience and I'm very well informed about resources in the community.
I enjoy working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress related issues, family conflicts, low self-esteem and clients who need empowerment and guidance to achieve their physical, mental and personal goals. I work with clients who are ready to better understand themselves, develop healthier coping strategies, and make meaningful changes in their lives. I offer a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients can slow down, feel heard, and begin to reconnect with who they are and what they want. My goal is to help clients move from simply getting through life to feeling more confident, connected, and capable of creating a life that feels meaningful to them.

I have had trainings on this modality. I will assist clients with learning to recognize distorted and negative thinking that is creating problems in their lives, help them gain a better understanding of their behaviors and teach them problem-solving and coping skills to deal with difficult situations.
I always provided psycho-education to my clients. I enjoy teaching them techniques to manage symptoms and cope with stress; I also like to emphasize the Body-Mind connection, as well as emphasize the importance of self-care.
I am a culturally sensitive psychotherapist. I am aware of cultural differences and I am myself a member of a different culture/ethnic group.
I have experience with this modality and I am very health focused. I am always learning about health related topics and during therapy I emphasize the importance of taking care of our overall health. Self-care is a very important aspect of my sessions.
I have received training in this modality. The focus will be on client's goals and need for change. I will work collaboratively in therapy. As your therapist I will guide you, challenge you and motivate you to achieve your goals
