I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to help people somehow, whether by offering support by improving mental health, addressing relationship difficulties, or adjusting to challenging life changes. I have been practicing for fifteen years. I graduated with a Master's in Social Work from Florida International University in April 1997. I completed a Graduate Certification in Addiction and Recovery at the University of Florida College of Medicine in August 2020. I also completed certifications in Nurturing Skills for Families in Substance Treatment and Recovery and Nurturing Parenting Facilitator. I am a certified Hypnotherapist and trained in EMDR. I provide services in English and Spanish to patients experiencing personal conflict, relationship or family troubles, or a mental health condition such as depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, PTSD, Career Counseling, OCD, and phobias. I also provide services to individuals with a substance use condition and addictions. I believe a good therapeutic relationship is essential. A good therapeutic relationship is vital in recovery; trust, respect, and unity are significant components.

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

In the first therapy session, you can expect me to prioritize creating a comfortable and safe space for you to share your thoughts and emotions. I will clearly outline my role in the therapeutic process and engage in a discussion about your therapy goals, working together to establish realistic and achievable objectives. Central to my practice is the belief in the pivotal role of a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and unity to support your recovery and well-being. During our session, you will have the opportunity to openly discuss the issues that led you to therapy, express your feelings, and begin exploring potential solutions and coping strategies. I will provide an overview of the therapy process, discussing what to anticipate in future sessions and addressing any questions you may have about the therapeutic approach we will be utilizing. My commitment is to be a supportive presence on your therapeutic journey.

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

I bring a deep empathy to my therapy practice, allowing me to connect with clients personally and understand their experiences. My passion for healing others drives my commitment to providing a supportive and nurturing environment where clients feel heard and valued. By leveraging these strengths, I aim to empower individuals on their journey toward self-discovery and growth.
