Hello, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California with over 35 years of experience. I earned my master's degree from Barry University in Miami, Florida and have been dedicated my career to helping adults. I navigate PTSD, Depression and Life Challenges empowering them to become the best selves. I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish and have had the privilege of working in diverse settings across Florida, Puerto Rico and California. My professional experience includes university teaching, facilitating workshops and webinars, and serving as a consultant in various roles.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. My primary goal in the first session is to create a safe and welcoming space where clients feel comfortable sharing their story. I focus on understanding their current challenges, goals and hopes for therapy while building a foundation of trust. Together, we explore their needs and begin to develop a tailored plan to support their journey toward growth and healing.

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

I have been a therapist for over 35 years and my experience in working in diverse scenarios allows me to blend creative and evidence-based practices, helping clients explore their emotions and experiences in meaningful ways. Above all, I am committed to fostering growth, resilience, and transformation with the people I work with.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I like working with adults that are ready to break free from their challenges and embrace change. challenges. It is rewarding to witness their growth and transformation as they progress through the therapeutic process.
