I have been a practicing therapist since 1994 and have specializations in: Pastoral Counseling; Women's issues including Aging, Body Image, Rape, Domestic Violence and Incest; Depression, Loss, Grief and Anxiety; Couples Counseling; Serious Mental Illness issues with individuals or families concerning Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and other illnesses that often require long-term treatment and medications. I have a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University, FL, and a Master's degree in Divinity from Duke University , NC. I believe that trust and compassion are key elements to successful therapy, as is regular engagement in therapy sessions, and commitment from both the therapist and the client. I often teach my clients techniques in breathing, using imagery, and journaling to use on their own when they have to confront issues that we work on in therapy. My style of counseling involves practices based in many psychological theories, and is tailored to the individual with whom I am working. Our sessions consist of conversations that may involve problem solving, teaching, guiding, looking more closely at issues that have been causing trouble for a long time, things that may never have been spoken of before, uncomfortable topics - whatever a client comes with is where we start, and together we will go from there. I am not here to judge, or come to conclusions about what you do or who you are. I am here to help you through whatever it is that causes you to want to talk to a professional therapist, and I will work with you as long as you need to heal and/or reach your goal(s).

I have been a practicing social worker for more than 30 years . Much of this experience has been working in a large public teaching hospital in Miami, Florida. The scope of service that the hospital provides is quite comprehensive which afforded me opportunities to work with a very diverse population . i have counseled patients and their families dealing with a variety of illnesses, both physical and mental health, survivors of sexual assault, and also providing counseling to patients in a correctional setting. I like challenging situations. My style of counseling is very eclectic, depends on the client and their unique set of problems. This can range from client centered, solution oriented or cognitive behavioral as many people are coming to therapy to learn new ways of thinking and alternative coping strategies. given some of the events of the past year, many people are experiencing additional stressors, particularly the LGBTQ community and am very interested in providing services to this population. I am looking forward to learning along with you.

I have worked as a therapist for over 8 years, serving in both private practice and community mental health settings. I graduated with my masters degree in social work from Florida International University in 2016 and I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish. I specialize in using a range of evidence-based modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and psychodynamic approaches. As a therapist I have learned the importance of endorsing a non-judgmental attitude, empathy and flexibility to help patients feel safe and comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. As a therapist, I am passionate about empowering individuals heal and transform by providing a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space for them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My experience as a therapist has taught me the importance of collaboration in the therapeutic process to help uncover inner resources and strengths to overcome challenges and achieve goals.
