Hello/Hola! I am a licensed clinical social worker and clinical qualified supervisor in Florida with 10+ years of work experience in the field. As a therapist, my approach is grounded in authenticity, genuine care, and a deep commitment to fostering resilience. I believe in the strength and capacity within each individual to heal, grow, and navigate life’s challenges. My role is to provide a compassionate and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your inner strengths, and build the tools you need to thrive.

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

In my practice I provide a safe and trusting space to fully express yourself. Individuals who work with me appreciate her authentic, caring, and down-to-earth approach. I value the intersectionality in diversity and your therapeutic experience.

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

In my experience as a therapist I have gained great knowledge from all my training, supervision, career paths, and mostly from my clients. I practice and use the value of learning from each other. I still and hope to continue to grow as my clients grow. We learn and grow more when we meet each other as humans.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have a diverse background in mental health, having worked in community mental health settings, with homeless populations, in college counseling, higher levels of care, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice. Additionally, I have experience teaching clinical courses at the college and graduate levels, as well as supervising early-career therapists. My primary expertise lies in supporting individuals with chronic mental health challenges and personality disorders (BPD and NPD). I also offer bilingual services in Spanish and English and have specialized experience working with diverse populations, including the Latinx community, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those navigating gender-related concerns.

My treatment methods

Daialectical Behavior (DBT)

From a dialectical behavioral lens clients can learn how their emotional health functions, how to regulate it, tolerate distress, practice mindfulness and even aid their interpersonal relationships.

Psychodynamic

From a psychodynamic lens clients can learn to connect the dots, become more aware of their maladaptive patterns of behaviors, habits, relational struggles, and finally learn to break them.
