Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, anxious, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward? Life can feel heavy when you are trying to manage responsibilities, relationships, stress, and your emotional well-being all at the same time. You do not have to carry it alone.

Hola, bienvenida/o.

Buscar ayuda no siempre es fácil. Muchas personas llegan a terapia sintiéndose abrumadas por la ansiedad, la tristeza, los conflictos en sus relaciones, el estrés o experiencias dolorosas que han cargado en silencio durante mucho tiempo. Si ese es tu caso, quiero que sepas que no tienes que enfrentarlo sola/o.

Soy psicóloga graduada de la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas (UCLV), en Cuba, y continué mi formación profesional en Estados Unidos en Albizu University. Mi experiencia trabajando con la comunidad latina me ha permitido comprender los desafíos emocionales, familiares y culturales que muchas personas enfrentan mientras intentan equilibrar sus responsabilidades, relaciones y bienestar personal.

Ofrezco terapia en español para adolescentes y adultos que experimentan ansiedad, depresión, trauma, baja autoestima, dificultades en las relaciones, conflictos familiares, procesos de duelo y transiciones importantes de vida. También trabajo con personas que desean comprenderse mejor, fortalecer su autoestima y desarrollar herramientas para afrontar los desafíos cotidianos de manera más saludable.

Mi enfoque terapéutico es cálido, colaborativo y libre de juicios. Creo que cada persona tiene una historia única y merece un espacio seguro donde pueda sentirse escuchada, comprendida y valorada. Juntos exploraremos los patrones que están afectando tu bienestar emocional, identificaremos tus fortalezas y desarrollaremos estrategias prácticas para ayudarte a alcanzar cambios significativos y duraderos.

Creo firmemente que la terapia no solo ayuda a aliviar el sufrimiento emocional, sino que también puede convertirse en una oportunidad para crecer, sanar y construir una vida más plena y satisfactoria.

Será un honor acompañarte en tu proceso hacia una mayor comprensión de ti misma/o, bienestar emocional y crecimiento personal.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Searching for OCD therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with finding someone trained in exposure and response prevention therapy, often called ERP. ERP is a common therapy approach for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, or rituals, read therapist bios for direct mentions of OCD experience, ERP training, and related approaches that fit your needs.

Fort Lauderdale has a range of mental health care options across Broward County and the broader South Florida area. Your best fit may depend on practical details, including appointment times, office location, virtual availability, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond a therapist who lists OCD as a specialty and check whether their profile describes specific ERP training or structured work with obsessions and compulsions. A free phone consultation can also help you learn how a therapist approaches care before booking a first session.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin. Headway helps you search for a therapist in Fort Lauderdale, FL who matches your preferences, offers in-person or virtual care, and accepts a wide range of insurance plans, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
