About me

I am licensed mental health counselor in the State of Florida with 12 years of professional work experience. I also have a doctorate's degree in Clinical Psychology from my country of origin. My main language is Spanish, but I also provide services in English. I have vast experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
