Hello and Welcome! I understand that engaging in therapy, especially if it's the first time, can feel intimidating but you're making the right choice. Just remember you are not alone. In fact, you are in a very common place with millions of others. You deserve a warm, non-judgmental, and safe space to improve your quality of life. I'd like to introduce myself to help you feel a little more comfortable. I am a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been in practice for 10 years and have served in inpatient, outpatient, and community health settings. I am most passionate about working with adults and elders who suffer from anxiety, depression, and life stressors such as breakups, loneliness, fear, grief/loss, aging, insecurity, attachment issues, career challenges, adjustment issues and just general "I don't know what I'm doing with my life." I continue to attend trainings to be an informed therapist. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. *I always offer the opportunity to have a free 15-minute phone consultation - PRIOR - to scheduling your intake session to answer any questions you may have and see if I am a good fit for you. I do not accept insurance for couples sessions or family therapy (individual sessions only), please contact me directly for rates. Let's work together!

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish), Latina clinician with 23 years in mental health and health care settings, working with diverse cultures and races within the South Florida area. I specialize in trauma-informed care using EMDR, for individuals and couples, and I use various evidenced-based clinical practices in the areas of relationships, phobias, eating disorders, neurodivergence, attachment disorders, addictions, life transitions, pre & post natal maternal depression & birth trauma, anxiety, chronic illness, grief & loss, abuse & neglect, work with first responders & military, and depression. I have a passion for integrating faith-based perspectives and a holistic approach, per client preference or request, to healing and wellness, and being creative in my approach to therapy, incorporating multiple schools of thought and theories/interventions into therapy. I am licensed in Florida and South Carolina.
