I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I was inspired to become a therapist after growing up in a family that experienced mental illness and trauma. I would like to help those in need thrive and become the best versions of themselves. I have been practicing therapy for over 3 years with a those with a variety of needs.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Client will be presented with an empathic professional who will meet you where you are. I begin by learning about the client , goals for treatment, and mechanisms by which they would like to do so. I also like to use the miracle question technique to establish long-term goals. I create a safe environment for clients by remaining nonjudgmental and meeting the client where they are. I believe the essentials for the therapeutic relationship are empathy, mutual understanding of expectations, and respect.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

The values that I bring to therapy is that everyone has strengths and has the ability to change. I tailor my approach by collaborating with clients. I view therapy as an opportunity to learn more about one self and what one needs to succeed in their lives. I strongly believe that mental health is integral to overall health and wellbeing.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Primarily, I have worked in community behavioral health settings. I have served populations including those of low SES, LGBT+, adults, children, and adolescents. I have also served those from Hispanic, African American, and Caribbean descent. I am eclectic but gravitate more towards CBT, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I specialize in anxiety and mood disorders. I also have experience with neurodivergence, trauma, and adjustment disorders.
