Hello! I'm Michelle, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and School Counselor based in Florida. I specialize in working with individuals healing from trauma. With a compassionate and supportive approach, I help clients navigate the challenges in life guiding them through anxiety, self-esteem, and family dynamics. For couples, I use the Gottman Method to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and foster deeper connections. I also provide EMDR therapy to help individuals process trauma, break free from distressing memories, and regain control over their lives. My goal is to create a safe space where my clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal and grow.

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

In the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment. We will discuss your goals, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. I will ask questions to understand your background and relationship dynamics. Together, we will create a plan tailored to your needs, setting the foundation for our work together.

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

My greatest strengths as a provider are my empathetic and culturally sensitive approach. I also have strong experience in grief counseling, working with teenagers, and school counseling. My background as a mom helps me relate to clients and offer practical, effective support.

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

I work best with individuals healing from trauma. My approach is supportive and culturally sensitive, especially for the Latino community. Using evidence-based methods like EMDR, I help clients overcome obstacles, build resilience, and create meaningful connections.
