I am licensed in Florida with 15 years of professional work experience.
I believe in creating a safe, compassionate, and trustworthy environment where my clients feel heard, not judged, and empowered to choose their own path to healing. You are the expert of your story and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I believe in providing a holistic approach for each individual client to help them develop their own toolbox with skills that not only will guide them through their healing process, but also maintain their treatment gains in the days to come.
I work with individuals, couples, families, groups, veterans, first responders, and the military community. I have experience in helping clients with stress, abuse, coping with grief, coping with loss, & anger management. I also continue to focus my clinical efforts on treating individuals struggling with complex issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, dual-diagnosis, and other mood disorders. I have been a longtime advocate for many underrepresented populations including the Latino, survivors of sexual violence, and the LGBTQ+ community. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and am available to provide services in both languages. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Additional areas of focus: Communication problems, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Social anxiety and phobia
