I have a bachelor’s degree in sociology, earned at the University of Havanna. I completed a PHD in Sociology at Marthin Luther University in Halle Wittenberg, Germany, and a Master of Science in psychology with a major in Marriage and Family therapy at the Carlos Albizu University, Florida USA. I have worked in the field for over 20 years in different positions and serving different populations in the field of mental health. I ;m bilingual and provide also sessions in Spanish language.

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

In our first session together, we will discuss confidentiality limits and establish rapport. I will also discuss how the therapeutic process works and assess goals for therapy.

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

My greatest strengths are my communication skills and my ability to help clients reach their goals.

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

I consider myself a very open-minded person who is willing to help people and enjoy the process of getting them to reach their goals in life. People do not necessarily need to have a mental health diagnosis to receive therapy. Everyone can benefit from therapy. I believe that the current social and environmental situation in our society and in the world in general are affecting individuals, families and communities, adding stressful issues to everyone and especially to people in need. My motto is “I’m here to serve.” I love to work with my clients, empowering them to reach their goals and providing the necessary tools to manage their own life in a healthy way.
