Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of experience, including two years of independent licensure. I completed a Post-Master’s Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy at National University in 2024. I earned my Master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University in 2013 and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from FIU, as well as an Associate’s degree in Psychology from Miami-Dade College.

My approach to therapy

My clients are often individuals and families who know setting a therapeutic objective is important for improving their well-being and are looking to implement the strategies that will assist in enhancing their everyday wellness. Each client has a unique situation and needs specialized techniques —whether that's through individual therapy techniques, learning coping skills, or addressing workplace stressors.

What you can expect from me

At our first session, we will start with brief introductions and then begin to explore the specific difficulties you're experiencing. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. My goal is to ensure that every client has the strategies they need to modulate and mitigate their symptoms.
