Welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals find clarity, healing, and balance through genuine connection and understanding. My approach to therapy is simple yet powerful: I meet you where you are. Every person’s journey is unique, and my role is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely—without judgment. In our sessions, you can expect a conversational, down-to-earth style that focuses on building trust and collaboration. I believe that meaningful change happens when you feel truly seen and heard. Together, we’ll work to uncover patterns, strengthen coping skills, and move toward the goals that matter most to you. I often integrate cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help you gain practical tools while deepening self-awareness. I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Whether you’re seeking relief from overwhelming emotions or simply want to reconnect with yourself, therapy can be a powerful step toward growth. As a first-generation Latina therapist, I value cultural identity, authenticity, and the importance of creating a space that honors all parts of who you are. My hope is for you to leave each session feeling supported, understood, and empowered to take the next step in your healing journey. You don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to walk beside you—one conversation at a time.

Life is complicated enough—and it doesn’t come with a manual. But therapy can be a space where we begin drafting one, together. My goal is to help you live more authentically, compassionately, and in better company with yourself, one step at a time. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, and existential therapy to meet you where you are. I’m a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, client-centered therapist who takes a holistic view of healing. I graduated with a Master's degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2021, I obtained my post-graduate license to practice social work in 2024. I have experience supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and personality disorders. Together, we’ll build a strong therapeutic alliance, identify unhelpful thought patterns and core beliefs, and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. I believe healing is deeply personal, and no two journeys look the same. As Carl Sagan once said: "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way."

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals move from overwhelm and self-doubt into clarity, confidence, and emotional stability. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, attachment wounds, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Many of the people I support are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, or lost internally. They are often navigating complex emotions, difficult patterns, or uncertainty about their direction in life. My therapeutic style blends warmth, structure, and deep insight. My goal is to help you understand yourself on a deeper level—your patterns, beliefs, triggers, and needs—so that you can begin creating real and lasting change. I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can process your emotions openly while learning practical skills to manage stress, regulate your nervous system, and build healthier boundaries and relationships. I believe therapy should be both supportive and empowering. Together, we’ll explore the “why” behind your patterns while also building the “how” of moving forward. I help clients reconnect with their strengths, reframe limiting beliefs, and develop tools that promote emotional balance and self-trust. Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, burnout, uncertainty, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I’m here to guide you with compassion and clarity. My goal is to help you feel grounded, capable, and in control of your life again.

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker with British Caribbean roots and from the tail end of the baby boomer generation, I have come to acknowledge the roller-coaster ride that life offers with numerous highs, lows, and constant cycles of new beginnings and endings. My career in the mental health profession began to take shape in 2012, which led me to secure a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from the esteemed University of South Florida. Since 2014, my focus has been on supporting children, individuals, and families in Florida and the Caribbean. The unprecedented emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted our social lives drastically, prompting an increased need for virtual counseling. However, I managed to adapt to this change in my practice, thus registering continuous growth in the Telehealth space from then onward. My practice now serves the wider population. Learn more about me at: https:// www.mysocialwellbeing-therapy.com

I am welcoming to all who struggle with anger, trauma, psychosis, and stage of life issues such as divorce or loss. I specialize in substance abuse, anger, trauma, psychosis, and domestic violence. I enjoy using Jungian psychology as a resource to help people explore the depth of their struggles and find hope on the other side. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused therapy as tools to accomplish this. Things can get better, and we can be okay--no matter what life brings our way. I enjoy the opportunity to help people explore and move their lives forward. There is always hope, and there is always opportunity to grow.

Hello there I’m Johnny, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Miami, Florida. Outside of my work, I’m someone who loves to explore new places, try different foods, and spend time outdoors. Traveling gives me perspective and reminds me how much there is to learn from different people and cultures. I also enjoy cooking, scuba diving, and finding quiet moments near the ocean whenever I can. I’ve always had a curious side—I’m fascinated by astronomy and love collecting action figures, which is something that’s stuck with me since childhood. Those small interests keep me grounded and remind me to make space for the things that bring joy. Family is important to me, I value humor, honesty, and connection, both in my personal life and in the relationships I build every day. I believe that who we are outside of our work matters just as much as what we do, and I try to live in a way that reflects that balance.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
