Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 11 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families on a host of different issues. I have gained valuable experiences working in private practice, in a pregnancy center, working with the homeless population, community mental health and the Church. All these experiences helped to make me the rounded clinician that I am today. Many individuals focus on their physical health while ignoring the most important aspect of their being and that is their mental health. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength.
You don't have to let anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, or even career decisions prevent you from realizing your true potential. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination.
“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction.
The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless. You deserve to be heard and to be healed.
This is my story, What’s yours? Let’s talk.

Hi, I’m Dina, an Enneagram Informed Mental Health Professional dedicated to helping high-achieving women find balance, clarity, and renewed purpose. I work with women who are driven and capable—but often feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in cycles of anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt.
Using the Enneagram alongside strengths-based counseling, Motivational Interviewing, and cognitive tools, I help clients uncover the root of their struggles and reconnect with their true selves. My approach is compassionate, practical, and deeply personalized.
Together, we’ll identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, tap into your strengths, and create a clear path toward emotional healing and meaningful growth.
The result? Women walk away with more than insight—they gain confidence, resilience, and a sense of peace. They begin to live with intention, lead with grace, and show up fully in the lives and relationships that matter most.
