LMHC, 17 years of experience
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I have 17 years of experience working with individuals and families. I have helped people with a wide range of concerns including posttraumatic stress disorder, childhood trauma’s, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, relationship and family issues, stage of life challenges, the pain of recovering after a divorce, decision-making, and problem-solving. Other related experience includes working with incarcerated youth who come from the hard streets of Miami. I have also helped many women and men by guiding them through the pain of divorce.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My counseling style is empathetic and interactive and is grounded in wellness of the whole person, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Reality based therapy are my primary approach as I have worked with individuals, groups, and families. While helping people develop tools and skills to empower them and help them achieve their goals, I support people through their process and share their journey. Empathy, compassion, trust, and respect are most important to me and my role as a therapist.
I use humor and empathy to help you get going on your counseling journey. I am an easy person to talk to and one thing about me is that I am honest with you. I don't beat around the bush because this counseling experience is to help you and move you forward in this season of your life.
I love working with people who need to identify and process what issue/s they are currently facing which brought them to counseling.
