I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed in Florida as a Clinical Mental health Counselor with 20 years of experience working in this field. I define myself as an integrated psychotherapist offering Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I focus on developing a trusting and safe relationship, which helps us to complete more profound work. An integrated approach also allows for a goal to be held in mind that we work towards. The relationship is essential so that you feel safe and trust the process, which helps you to access the work more efficiently and potentially quicker.
I believe in what I do and am passionate about doing it. I work with a range of topics and fully acknowledge that it is a difficult process. I ensure it is as stress-free as possible and adapt my counselling to meet your needs.
I have excellent relationships with my clients. Frequent feedback makes them feel understood and respected, and that I care about their well-being and progress.
Life has become complex and demanding, with a constant message that we must do more or be better. I love working with clients who struggle to navigate their circumstances and need support strategies for a better and more successful life.
I use CBT as a structured but flexible approach. I tailor the interventions to each individual's needs and regularly assess and adapt the strategies based on the client's progress and feedback. I am creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
I have been immersed in different cultures growing up, which has increased my understanding of and respect for the cultural backgrounds, beliefs, values, and practices of the individuals seeking therapy. Culture impacts beliefs, family dynamics and social trends, and therapists must respect their client's backgrounds.
