LMHC, 8 years of experience
I am a bilingual therapist licensed in the state of Florida. I graduated from Florida International University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and the University of South Florida with a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. I additionally obtained certifications as a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Rehabilitation Counselor. I have extensive experience working in a psychiatric hospital and in private practice.
I specialize in helping families, couples, and individuals with constructing healthier relationships, gaining self-esteem, working through difficulties attributed to abuse and/or trauma and challenging transitions that life presents. I treat Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anger Management, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Stress Management, Family Conflicts.
The main therapeutic approach I utilize in sessions is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but also combine other approaches based on the clients needs, such as existential therapy, brief solution focused therapy and gestalt therapy.
Empowering clients to be the better version of themselves is my strength. I give tools to deal with life stresses, or tools to grow in areas where the individual wants to improve on.
