Great to meet you!

I am a licensed mental health counselor residing in Florida. I am originally from Cuba, having immigrated to the US at the age of 18. My journey in the field of mental health began at the age of 21, when I took my first job as what they called then a "behavioral tech". It's been over 20 years now and I have not stepped out of this field since then. This work has increased my trust in our ability to heal, grow and live meaningful lives.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and use other mindfulness-based practices to help you increase your quality of life. Evidenced based treatment approaches include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT, along with Narrative Therapy and EDIT (Eating Disorder Intuitive Eating). I provide all care with a diversity framework, as I am passionate about getting to help you based on your individual identity, your unique challenges and resources.

What you can expect from me

All services are virtual. Get comfy and log on Zoom. Book a consultation with me ASAP! They are free and best way to start. Some evenings.
