Ofrezco servicios en español. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with significant experience treating children, adolescents and adults struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, among other concerns. Florida has been my home for many years after leaving my beautiful Dominican Republic. I feel passionate about normalizing therapy and helping my community navigate life challenges. I believe that you are the expert in your life and I would feel honored to help you maximize your potential and find fulfillment through this journey we call life. It takes courage to seek out change and I praised you for allowing yourself to take this first step. Let's work together!
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 challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which has been proven highly successful in helping you manage stressors by changing the way you think and behave. I also use a combination of mindfulness techniques (e.g., art therapy, yoga, meditation), motivational interventions, and holistic suggestions including nutrition and functional skills.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have a good balance between empathy and boundaries which allows a healthy exchange of ideas. I use humor appropriately and I promote an environment of acceptance and mutual respect where you will feel seen/heard.
