I am a licensed professional counselor (PhD, LPC, NCC) with years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of mental health challenges. I am deeply committed to helping people explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe, supportive environment. My approach integrates evidence-based strategies with compassion and understanding, so clients can gain clarity, build resilience, and achieve meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

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.
