About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 11 years of experience in the counseling field. I have been fortunate enough to work in multiple programs such as psychiatric residential facilities, Intensive In Home Services, Outpatient Services for children and adults, and I supervised a program that focused on the employment, education, mental & physical health, of young adults up to the age of 24. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is relatable and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Chiquita is the only reason I came back to betterhelp. Overall she understands how I am able to communicate my feelings without having that overwhelming feeling and really takes the time to listen and find the best fit for me.

She is so on-point! I appreciate how she really helps you to take a look in the mirror at yourself. I also appreciate the extra worksheets, affirmations, etc. to further dig into the root of our problems! I would highly recommend her!!!

Chiquita is an awesome therapist. She is a really great listener. I have learned a lot about myself. She has helped me with my lack of communication and has helped me to shift my mind to think more about myself. She has also helped me to become more of a doer. I highly recommend her.
