Great to meet you!

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, past trauma, depression, or parenting/relationship stress? You're not alone - I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) LCSW-QS with over 8 years of experience supporting adults, teens, children, and parents through crisis, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in trauma-informed CBT and DBT, and I offer parenting support through the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P).

My approach is compassionate yet direct: I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard while we build practical skills for emotion regulation, healthier relationships, and lasting progress.

Telehealth sessions are available across Florida. If you’re ready to feel more in control and move forward with confidence, I’d be honored to support you.

My approach to therapy

I work collaboratively and directly with each client. My style combines compassion with honest, direct challenge—creating space for you to feel understood while gently examining patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

I primarily use trauma-informed CBT and DBT principles, adapted to your needs, along with elements from family systems and crisis intervention when relevant. Sessions focus on building practical skills: managing emotions, improving relationships, processing difficult experiences, and developing resilience. Whether you're an individual working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions—or part of a couple or family addressing communication and parenting—I tailor the work to your goals and cultural context.

Being bilingual allows me to provide therapy in Spanish when preferred. The core is always creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can be honest without fear of judgment, while we actively work toward measurable change

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we'll focus on understanding your story and what you're hoping to gain from therapy. I'll ask about your current challenges, background, and any previous experiences with mental health support, while giving you plenty of space to share at your own pace.

The environment is calm, confidential, and collaborative—no pressure or judgment. My goal is to build trust quickly so you leave feeling heard, with a clear sense of how we might work together. We'll identify 1-2 initial priorities or goals and outline what progress could look like. Expect an open conversation rather than a rigid assessment; many clients tell me they feel relieved that the process feels straightforward and human from the start.
