Some days (and even weeks!) can be so much harder than others, which may have you feeling stuck in life. This causes you worry and sadness, and these emotions may be leading you to make poor decisions. When stressors combine, this can have a negative impact on our self-esteem, relationships, and school/work. To have a more positive and happy life, things need to change, and this can feel overwhelming without support. I can help with a wide variety of issues that can result in a happier life, not only for you, but also for your loved ones.

You’ve spent enough time worrying about the opinions of others; it’s time to stress less and start controlling your life. You don’t have to be broken; you just have to have the desire to “get better."
With years of first-hand experience navigating the darkness, I’m able to utilize my counseling education, life-coaching skills and 25 years of yoga to help you heal and transform, to provide you with the tools and guidance needed to help you change your life.
I believe in you and the power of transformation; my job is to support you, guide you and empower you with the tools and practices you need to take the leap and make the change towards a happy and more fulfilled life.

Tampa, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me and I have gotten a pretty good sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths as a counselor overlap with the types of counseling that are helpful for my clients. This sense (along with learning about lots and lots of research into what helps people find and maintain mental health) has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do:
1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done.
2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change.
3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but if I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs then I want to do that.

If it is causing you emotional pain, that is a good reason to seek out help.

Your issues may be stress, loneliness, sadness, frustration, or concern for a loved one. You are not alone and I am ready to help you explore strategies to help you improve your life. Each session is provided in a warm and compassionate environment.
I will ask you some questions so I can understand which issues you want to focus on. Therapy is a process of learning and the rewards are great. You will develop parts of yourself that you did not know existed. This will help you to become a better parent, partner, and best friend to yourself and your loved ones. Are you ready to take that step of self-discovery to become the best version of yourself? I want to guide you in your path to self-discovery, happiness, and peace.
I have been counseling clients for over 24 years and I work with all populations. My counseling modalities include Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution-focused, and Person-Centered therapy. When I counsel children, I use all of these in addition to Play therapy. Many of the therapeutic issues we work together on are Self-esteem, relationships, communication, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, Social skills, and grief. I am a licensed therapist and have a Masters Degree in counseling. I have spent many years counseling children, adolescents, and adults.

I have experience with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and general women’s issue. I am especially passionate about working with CPTSD and PTSD. I have received training and supervision in working with trauma as it is a highly specialized field.

The approach helps getting to root causes.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida since March 2007. I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and assessing adults, families and children in multiple settings. I consider myself skilled using a variety of clinical interventions (expressive arts with cognitive-behavioral, client-centered and trauma-informed approaches) in three languages: English, Spanish and French.
I am a Colombian born immigrant who came to the US to further my education and practice as a psychotherapist. During my years of experience in psychotherapy I learned to incorporate the creative side of the human brain to facilitate expression and better flow the emotional communication. I have helped many people work through coping with life changes, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and other multiple issues... I thrive in connecting with the person and developing trust, hope and faith in the therapeutic -and creative- process. My main focus is to provide a safe space for open conversations -via TeleHealth or in office- that allow the person to find their own path towards growing and healing. It takes courage to face our psychological challenges AND to take the first steps towards change, if you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you all the way!

I enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families strengthen their relationships and achieve their goals. I have an integrated counseling approach, based primarily in cognitive-behavioral therapy, with couples and family counseling influenced by team research. I offer a warm and empathetic environment, while empowering you. (Office appointments available in Orlando and teletherapy throughout Florida.) With a focus on internal and relational dynamics, clients are supported in sharing openly, finding clarity in their needs and goals, and then working together in a iterative process to establish practical and successful steps forward. I look forward to work with you.

My specialties are in the areas of adult transitions, relationship challenges and clinical issues such as anxiety, and depression. My intensive clinical training and therapeutic skills help many people navigate through life's inherent up and downs, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Coping Skills Development with a Solution-Focused approach. I like to focus on what I can do to help keep communication open and empower people to get motivated and active in their life solutions.
I bring to my work my sincere interest in the well-being of my clients and seek to build trusting relationships that foster growth for my clients in a confidential and judgment-free environment. Each client's problem is unique and I seek to help my clients help themselves, helping them discover their strengths.

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker and I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy with 8 years of professional work experience. I attended Saint Leo University and gained my Master of Social Work Advanced Clinical Practice degree. I gained most of my experience and knowledge working in the community mental health setting with diverse populations. I have a passion for helping others improve their lives and increase their overall well-being.
I started my career working with children and adolescents and then expanded to adult mental health and substance use disorders. I have held many positions in my career which has allowed for career growth. I started as a front-line provider and then proceeded to become a team lead, program director, and vice president tile while working at a large community mental health agency. The experience I have gained throughout my career has equipped me with the needed tools to assist individuals and families in progressive healing.
