Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, as well as a National Certified Counselor. I earned my Masters from Albizu University in Miami and have nine years of experience in practice. I specialize in assisting adults facing life transitions, adjustment disorders, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I'm fully bilingual in English and Spanish, enhancing my ability to serve diverse populations effectively.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, we'll begin with introductions before delving into the specific challenges you're encountering. I'll conduct a comprehensive assessment, including exploring the history of your symptoms onset and causes, your psychiatric and medical history, psychosocial factors, and a mental status exam. This thorough evaluation will inform the development of a personalized treatment plan for our future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having guided numerous adults through life's complexities, I've refined a trusted approach to assist you in uncovering the root causes of your challenges and designing a personalized plan for tangible progress. My method, steeped in empathy and compassion, equips you with the tools needed to conquer stressors and navigate obstacles with newfound confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT for foundational therapy, guiding clients in understanding connections between thoughts, emotions, and actions. I integrate innovative strategies like cognitive restructuring, assigned worry time, and journaling, along with diverse techniques such as behavioral activation, mindfulness exercises, and assertiveness training. This eclectic approach equips clients to challenge negative thought patterns, manage anxiety or depression, and foster self-awareness and growth.
