Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida. I earned my Master's from Carlos Albizu University. As a marriage counselor, I have a lot of experience working with couples and families from varying cultural backgrounds. I am also comfortable conducting therapy in either English or Spanish.

My approach to therapy

I use various evidence-based approaches to give clients a sense of empowerment that helps them be goal-oriented and gain power back into their lives. I work with children and teenagers with a range of childhood diagnoses, including Autism. I am also a Certified Trauma Professional and have extensive experience working with domestic abuse and hate crime survivors.

What you can expect from me

I encourage clients to concentrate on self-growth while promoting autonomy, independence, and self-sufficiency. I challenge clients to achieve self-awareness, insight, and positive change.
