Hi, mucho gusto! I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified school social worker based in Florida! My experience ranges from littles all the way through high school and young adulthood. The school setting has been my home for the last 6 years and has provided me with experience working towards goals and behavioral changes that impact our abilities to be successful both in and out of school. These goals can include stress management and coping skills, emotional regulation, organizational strategies, peer relations, and increasing self esteem.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we’ll get to know you: your strengths and difficulties, past and current experiences, and what you want out of your sessions. This will help us to start working towards a plan designed to suit you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with children, teens, and young adults since grad school, I’ve developed a great ability to build rapport and establish genuine and meaningful relationships. This is created by meeting the clients where they are, being empathetic and compassionate, and establishing a safe and sincere space.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Teenagers and young adults speak my language! Being a teen is hard enough as it is, and figuring out your next steps, whether it be college, the workforce, or something else, can be difficult. My clients dream of meeting their goals, but don’t have the right tools or are unsure of their direction. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about how to reach their goals and celebrate their most authentic selves.

I’ve had such a positive experience with my therapist. She’s extremely kind and creates a comfortable environment for self-discovery. She helped me gain deeper insights and provided practical options to overcome my challenges. Truly splendid in her approach, she has made a meaningful difference in my life.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Learned behaviors, attitudes, and core thoughts can impact the power of automatic responses (those pesky thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that come up even you don’t want them to). By exploring the roots of these behavioral and thought processes, we can change our overall outlook and learn to handle stressors in a mindful and effective manner.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

‘If a miracle happened in your sleep tonight, what changes would you see tomorrow?’ It’s easy to forget that our greatest strengths come from within and that our goals are often closer to reach than we thought. Realizing the power you already have can help with creating the steps to finally reach your goals and make them reality.
