Great to meet you!

I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults struggling with trauma, addiction, and identity issues. I obtained my Master's degree from St. Thomas University and am currently pursuing a Doctorate of Clinical Sexology at the International Institute of Clinical Sexology, focusing on Hypnotherapy.

I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, and my studies led me to beautiful Miami, FL in 2018!

My approach to therapy

I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role as your therapist is to guide you through the process of change needed to achieve your goals. I rely on evidence-based practices and bring extensive research experience to our sessions. I take an integrative and personalized approach, drawing from Narrative Therapies, Trauma-Focused Therapies, and DBT techniques.

What you can expect from me

Building a strong client-therapist connection is a priority, and I'm here to meet you where you are in your journey to healing and growth. My therapeutic style is warm, genuine, and compassionate. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can enhance your self-awareness and equip yourself with the tools to effectively manage difficult emotions, setting the foundation for a successful and healthy life.
