Hello and welcome to therapy! I am a tri-lingual Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida, who has experience working with children, adolescents and adults, addressing symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma. I also have experience as a guidance counselor in schools, where I have worked addressing ADHD and behavioral challenges in children. I graduated from Troy University in 2019 with a Masters in Science and subsequently obtained a State License in Florida, where I live and practice.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Empathy, intuition and knowledge are the tools that I use to establish a dialogue to empower my clients to discover their inner strenghts and eliminate the obstacles that prevent them from being the best version of themselves.

My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

Life events leave a mark in the way we see the world and the feelings we experience I believe that identifying those events help us to erase uncomfortable feelings that prevent us from experience the best of life.

Play Therapy

Children not always say the truth regarding emotions and ideas, but through the process of play they express what they cannot say with words. I also practice PCIT, focusing on parental strategies to manage oppositional and deffiant behaviors in children.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Thoughts prodiuce feelings and they prompt actions. Identifying and reframing negative help us to see things under a new light, and to change our actions toward a more satisfaying life.
