I have 7 years of experience as a licensed psychologist working in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, medical clinics, and private practice settings. I completed a Masters degree in psychology from Pepperdine University and a doctorate in clinical psychology from George Fox University. I taught undergraduate psychology courses at the university level and have lectured and presented workshops internationally. I speak English and Spanish fluently.

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.

My life experiences are what led me to become a therapist and shaped my deep commitment to supporting others on their healing paths. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide range of settings — schools, jails, hospitals, and private practice — which has given me a broad understanding of how people cope, survive, and grow in very different environments. I have specialized training in TF‑CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, autism, and women’s mental health, including perinatal, postpartum, and perimenopausal/menopausal concerns. These areas of focus allow me to support women across the full spectrum of emotional, hormonal, and life transitions. I look forward to walking alongside you as we navigate this journey together. I focus on women only at this time.

I am a relational therapist who works to break cycles of conflict and create relationships that feel effective and fulfilling. I bring a fluid and responsive approach, meeting clients with empathy while challenging them to dig deeper, embrace accountability, and take meaningful steps toward growth. In sessions, I help clients uncover patterns, identify blocks, self-illusion, and connect with the underlying emotions driving their struggles. I move beyond surface-level validation, guiding clients to reframe challenges and shift their perspectives. I believe in addressing what’s present and meaningful—not dwelling on blame or the past, but focusing on solutions that are effective and tailored to you. My approach is direct yet compassionate. I help clients explore what their reactions and interactions reveal about their needs, offering tools to build insight and strengthen connection. While I encourage clients to lean into discomfort as part of the process, I also ensure they feel guided and empowered to face challenges. Whether it’s improving communication, addressing conflict, or building trust, I guide clients to stop cycling through the same issues and start building the relationships they want. If you’re ready to move beyond feeling stuck, I’ll partner with you to create lasting change through honest, meaningful work.
