I am a bilingual LCSW with over 10 years of experience working in the human services field; focusing on mental health, behavior, and non-profit work. I grew up in Los Angeles, Ca., completed my Master of Social Work at Fordham University in the Bronx, NY., and currently reside in Ocala, Fl. As an LCSW I treat clients from across the lifespan with varying therapeutic needs by applying an integrative approach to treatment. Some of my areas of experience include treating family systems and individuals navigating intergenerational trauma, parents and children dealing with challenging behavior, neurodivergent populations, and individuals with a desire to better understand themselves and the maladaptive behaviors causing distress, mood issues, and anxiety. Areas of specialty include working with young adults navigating life after high school, parenting individuals/partners, and those who identify as Latina women struggling to balance relationships, family, individual needs, and independence. I believe that everyone and their experiences are unique, this is why I meet clients where they are in their life journey, empowering them to find and enhance solutions and coping skills that meet their needs. Although I am trained in CBT and DBT these interventions are only a part of my integrative approach to treatment. Client-centered care remains at the center of treatment; as there is not one single intervention that is best for all. Your treatment is yours, together we will create a treatment plan that empowers you.

Are you struggling to reach your goals or feel like 'you', again? Getting therapy does not mean that hardships are automatically alleviated. It takes strength, hard work, and teaming together to discover the path toward inner growth and positive change. The best part, is that simply by doing research in contacting a counselor, you are accomplishing the first and perhaps most difficult step. Let me assist you in your journey towards a healthier, happier, and more serene you. I see individuals as well as couples. My main specialties of counseling include: anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, meaning and purpose seeking, first responders and their families, postpartum issues, grief, trauma, stress management, substance use, anger management, parenting concerns, peer relationships, and much more. I utilize a variety of techniques and methods to aid the client in discovering the path that allows them to feel more positive growth and change in their lives. I aim for the client feeling comfortable and providing a safe and nonjudgmental environment that facilitates this. The client and therapist need to be a great 'fit'!

Hello potential client! You are hurting in some way if you are here reading this. Maybe you feel like you are getting more and more stressed out and just one more stressor would be too much for you to handle. Maybe you worry all the time about everything and can't stop. Maybe you are sad all the time and don't enjoy doing things that used to be fun. Maybe you are feeling helpless or hopeless about what to do. Maybe you have been through a traumatic experience or are grieving. Maybe you are thinking the way you have been using substances is causing you problems. You have tried your best to help yourself but nothing has worked the way you hoped it would. You don't know what to do but you do know you can't keep going the way you have been. This is where I come in! I help people who are ready to change for the better! My heart is for helping hurting people and I strive to treat all of my clients with the compassion and respect I believe they deserve. The most important part of positive change in a therapeutic relationship depends on just that - the relationship between the therapist and the client. I also use a variety of resources to help my clients. These include evidence-based types of therapy, worksheets and measurements. I also offer Christian counseling to those who are interested and am also happy to work with people of other spiritual beliefs. I offer free consultation calls so we can both decide if working together would be a good fit for both of us. I look forward to hearing from you if I sound like I would be your kind of therapist!

As a clinician with ADHD I have experienced firsthand many of the issues that individuals with ADHD face on a daily basis (poor experience with providers, family conflict regarding diagnosis, learning skills to accommodate my specific flavor of neurodiversity, etc). I think of ADHD as my own neurodiverse super power, and source of frustration. To paraphrase, “the ADHD giveth, and the ADHD taketh away.”

I want to start by connecting with you in a safe space. I believe growth comes from the courage to face its truth and challenging circumstances in a safe and supportive environment. My role as a therapist is to respect your life experiences and explore the support you need for individual internal growth. My therapy approach provides unique ways to identify what changes you want to embrace and assist you in tapping into your inner strength. My intrinsic style is a genuine humanistic approach, and I encourage clients to take advantage of their ideas through individual reorientation. I want my client to visualize that their therapist has a big flashlight so they can navigate their potential to have a more balanced approach in their everyday life.

I will create a balance within my counseling style based on your particular needs and preferences. I also enjoy adding an element of humor in my treatment when it is appropriate. It takes a great amount of courage to ask for help. I look forward to helping you through your journey and learning more about yourself. My goal is to help empower you to improve what is working well for you and give you the tools to help change what is not working for you. I look forward to starting this new journey with you!

This causes you worry and sadness, and these emotions may be leading you to make poor decisions.

I have been a Clinical Social Worker since 2017 initially working at an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at a psychiatric hospital in Boston, and now in my own private practice. Prior to this, I have spent most of my professional life working in higher education as an administrator and educator for over 20 years. My clinical focus has been working with late adolescents, young adults, and adults with anxiety, depression, substance use, and other mental health concerns. I believe in a client centered approach to therapy that starts with ensuring the client and therapist have a strong therapeutic relationship. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in communication from SUNY Fredonia, a master’s degree in education from Boston University. I earned my Doctor of Education degree from Johnson & Wales University, where I studied the campus climate for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual students at Catholic and non-Catholic institutions of higher education. I earned my Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in clinical mental health from Boston College. I conducted my first internship with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Office of Community Development and Substance Abuse, and my final internship at HRI Hospital in Brookline Massachusetts.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have been practicing in social work since undergrad back in 2007. I mostly work with adults in life transitions, difficult stressors (work, family or medical), chronic health conditions and pain. My career began in medical social work and I have continued to practice in medical social work and counseling/mental health for the duration of my career. I do believe that we do not get sick one way or get well one way. That means that I truly want to help you feel well and work with you in helping you get in to the doctors you need to ensure an overall wellness. I became a mental health provider because I am passionate about helping people regain their life back, having hope for better days and overcoming difficult situations and traumatic events. Life can have ups and downs and it's okay to ask for help and to say “this is hard”.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am a flawed person saved by grace interested in helping you become the best version of yourself that you have been designed to be. I have done my work and continue to do my work and now willing to help you in the capacity you need to be whole and healthy. I believe we never arrive; however, we remain on an axle ever evolving to find that balance in the universe. I have learned over the years you cannot keep what you have unless you are willing to be a blessing to others. I have been blessed with a wealth of knowledge and well over 20 years of experience I am willing to share, meeting you where you are in your process of healing. My experience in Ministry, years of working in the substance abuse and mental health field has afforded me the opportunity to witness the miraculous in the lives of so many. My therapeutic approach is derived from techniques inspired by Aaron Beck who instituted Cognitive Therapy. In addition, I strongly believe in the essential factors necessary for growth from a person- centered perspective “self-actualization, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.” Let your Faith be bigger than your fear. I am here. Help me, help you, together we will accomplish an amazing feat.
