I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social worker, with over a decade of experience providing therapy. I am caring, and empathetic. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a Master Degree in Social Work, both from Florida International University. Prior to working as a therapist, I’ve worked with different agencies such Vocational Rehabilitation, the Foster care system, Community clinics which have made me well versed and resourceful. Prior to graduating with my masters I completed internships in a Psychiatric hospital and a substance abuse rehabilitation center.
During sessions with me, you can expect to feel heard and empowered. Together we will develop a plan to address the issues that are important to you. We will work on increasing your self-awareness. We will process any unresolved trauma that you may have. We will explore what is at the root of the issues. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and past events that have an impact on your life and your relationships today.
My greatest strength is that I take time and care to establish rapport. I make sure that clients feel safe during conversations with me.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
While using CBT, I guide clients to explore the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We focus on noticing sensations in the body to better understand feelings, practicing grounding skills to manage emotions, and reframing unhelpful thoughts to foster healthier communication and self-understanding.
Eclectic
I like to combine several techniques from different modalities in therapy.

She’s awesome

This was just our first session with Irma. But she felt very warm, comforting, and solution oriented. I appreciated the rules that she set in the beginning of our session i.e. one person talks at a time. I’m looking forward to what therapy can accomplish for our relationship. Irma allows for an unbiased yet understanding environment.

Irma is so kind and attentive and really "hears" me and helps me gain perspective in such a productive and loving way, and offers me solutions that fit for me. I always feel better at the end of our sessions.
