I am a licensed mental health counselor and have been practicing since 2017. I have a master's degree in creative arts therapy, and currently I am a counseling doctoral candidate at Barry university, Miami. I’m based in Bal Harbour & Aventura in Miami- Dade County, Florida and provide services to clients both in person and via telehealth. My background includes working with individuals, groups and families in schools, therapy center for families, and private practice. In my practice, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults suffering from trauma or family crisis, or seeking to find a better outlet for communication. I have treated a broad spectrum of diagnoses and struggles, such as mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, behavioral issues, low self esteem, relationship issues and life transitions. I have encouraged freedom of expression and self-empowerment through creative processes, while using bibliotherapy as a springboard for healing.
