A Big Hello to you. You are scanning all these profiles. Looking for something to stand out to make you say,"I will go with this one." It is daunting but you have made it this far. Here is the tip. Your choice is not terminal. It is absolutely ok to try multiple therapists to see who gets you the best. Who understands you the best. After each session, you should feel lighter. You may not recall all that was said, but you will note how you feel. Did you feel heard? Understood? Did the therapist talk to me like they were reading a book or did it sound like they really got me? When you get the right one, those questions will be answered with a firm, Yes. Please Note: I only provide Talk Therapy in my practice. If you are looking for letters for work, ESA, Social Security, FMLA, Family Court, etc., unfortunately I cannot help. You will need a psychological evaluation by a forensic psychologist. This agency does not provide assessments, letters for claims or appearances in court.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor and marriage and family therapist based in Miami, Florida, with over 8 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through life’s emotional challenges. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship issues, life transitions, and depression, and I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. My style is collaborative, grounded, and compassionate. I believe therapy should be a safe place to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface—and to begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what you need, we’ll work together to help you feel more in control, more empowered, and more connected to yourself and the people you care about. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with other evidence-based approaches to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. That means we might gently challenge self-critical thinking, find new ways to manage anxiety or stress, or work on setting healthy boundaries in relationships. I also draw from systems theory in my work with couples and families, helping clients recognize how past dynamics may be influencing present struggles—and how to build new, healthier ways of relating. My clients often tell me they feel a sense of relief just being able to speak openly, without pressure to have all the answers. I believe therapy is not about fixing you—because you're not broken. It’s about giving you the space and tools to care for yourself in a deeper way. If you’re ready to begin this process, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I am passionate about providing quality care to adolescents and families. Intervention focuses on client defined goals for positive change. I help clients to learn and practice healthy coping skills and the confidence to use these skills both inside and outside of therapy. I specialize in helping parents, teens and young people to navigate the challenges of the transition to adulthood. I work to create a safe space of security, trust, and comfort, where sensitive personal narratives can be shared and explored. I used strength-based counseling to help teens, couples and families learn and practice resilience. Skills of emotional expression, assertiveness, and confidence are modeled and practiced within and between sessions so clients feel comfortable using these skills in their every day lives. I also help couples to communicate better and support the healing process. With help, a foundation can be built around a peaceful, open and honest relationship where both people feel heard, recognized and understood. I also specialize in help clients and families coping with chronic illness. One of the highlights of my career was publishing a curriculum called "REACH-OUT" (Rapport, Empowerment, Advocacy, Connection in Healthcare and Optimal Understanding of Transition to Adulthood. I have run groups in both the hospital and private practice for more than twenty years. I have discovered that no matter what illness people are living with, there are many common life altering changes that need to be recognized and adapted to for optimal health and functioning. The REACH-OUT groups are designed to help participants feel more in control of their bodies and the decisions they make in their lives.
