Hey there! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I received my Masters from St. Thomas University and have been practicing psychotherapy for 5 years. I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, and my studies led me to beautiful Miami, FL in 2018. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role as your therapist is to guide you through the process of change needed to achieve your goals. ¡Se habla español!

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

In our first session together, we will discuss the specific challenges you are facing and the goals you want to attain. I will also ask you questions about your past and your present to help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Building a strong client-therapist connection is a priority, and I'm here to meet you where you are in your journey to healing and growth.

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

My therapeutic style is warm, genuine, and compassionate. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can enhance your self-awareness and equip yourself with the tools to effectively manage difficult emotions, setting the foundation for a successful and healthy life. I speak both Spanish and English fluently!

Narrative

I utilize narrative therapy help you explore and reframe the stories you tell about yourself and your experiences. I will assist you with externalizing problems, identifying alternative narratives, and re-authoring your life stories to promote healing and growth. Through collaborative conversations, you will gain insight, agency, and empowerment, ultimately fostering positive change in your life.
