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

Child Parent Psychotherapy

I have been working whith children and their families for the last five years. As a school counselor I know first hand how to navigate educational challenges for those diagnosed with learning dissabilities. I utilize play therapy, art therapy, talk therapy and other interventions to work with children and help them to learn strategies to manage ADHD, Anxiety and the impact of traumatic experiences. I help defiant and oppositional children to change their behavior, and their parents to learn and practice parenting strategies to manage those behaviors.

Psychodynamic

Our emotions are like signals that guide us through life. But sometimes those emotions are hard to recognize, express and change. Exploring the root cause of our reactions and decissions can lead us to make changes toward emotionally healthier lives.
