Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida with a Master's degree from the University of North Florida and four years of practice experience. I am dedicated to challenging the stigma surrounding mental health. I support men and women as they navigate the challenges of adulthood and embark on their journey to wholeness by improving their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
In our first session, we'll begin with brief introductions, followed by a biopsychosocial assessment. This will allow us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the various factors influencing your functioning and help us develop goals tailored to your specific needs.
My greatest strength is forming genuine relationships with my clients, creating a safe and judgment-free space where they feel comfortable being their authentic selves.
I work with men and women who feel unsatisfied with their work-life balance, are adjusting to change, struggle to maintain relationships, and often experience stress, anxiety, or overwhelm.

IPT is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on the relational aspects of emotional well-being. I use this treatment method to help individuals improve their overall mental health by enhancing their relationships and communication skills.

I think the one thing I can say that I enjoyed was how actively listening she was involved in our conversation. I'm hoping for the best that we can work together.

Huguena is a breath of fresh air for me! I have a hard time communicating what I’m going through or what I wanna say sometimes but Huguena listened and was able to understand exactly what I wanted out of therapy. I am excited to be on this journey with her by my side.

When I first began therapy, I was very hesitant. Now, I’m excited to share what worries me, my trauma, ideas and my negative habits. Now when I’m faced with any of these, I ask some of the questions that are asked during our sessions. I sometimes time say, “now what would Huguena say about this?”. She helps me become more open minded and seeing all points of view ls before making a knee jerk decision or feeling towards the situation or person.
