(she/her)
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of experience, including two years of independent licensure. I completed a Post-Master’s Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy at National University in 2024. I earned my Master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University in 2013 and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from FIU, as well as an Associate’s degree in Psychology from Miami-Dade College. My work emphasizes wellness and anxiety.
During our first session, we’ll start with brief introductions and discuss your goal for therapy. This helps me develop a treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs and guides our work in future sessions. My goal is to help you build effective strategies to mitigate symptoms and support your overall well-being. I work with individuals and families who recognize the value of clear therapeutic goals and are motivated to implement practical strategies that support growth, resilience, and improved well-being in their daily lives.
I’ve worked across a wide range of settings, including schools, community programs, mental health agencies, and telehealth platforms, which has given me a broad perspective on the unique challenges people face in different stages of life. My approach is warm, client-centered, and trauma-informed. Clients often describe me as charismatic and value my collaborative approach to therapy, where we work together to identify meaningful therapeutic goals. Building strong rapport is central to my work as we explore effective ways to reduce symptoms. Therapy is a shared process grounded in mutual respect, openness, and a common intention to support your well-being.

As needed, I explain and discuss DBT interventions that have been evidenced to effectively mitigate symptoms.
