I help military members, first responders, and law enforcement professionals carry the weight of service with more strength, clarity, and support through therapy built around their world. If you’re dealing with trauma, stress, addiction, relationship strain, or the silent pressure of always having to hold it together, you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to offer a space that feels confidential, grounded, and free of judgment—where you can talk honestly without clichés, forced vulnerability, or someone who doesn’t understand the culture you come from.

I am writing to express my interest in an advanced practice provider opportunity with Headway. With

experience as an APRN, RN, and physician, and recent completion of my PMHNP training, I bring a

strong clinical background and commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care.

I got my start working in a residential setting, supporting people through serious mental health challenges, trauma, and addiction. That experience shaped how I see therapy, it’s not just clinical, it’s about feeling understood and not alone in what you’re going through. I now work with people dealing with things like trauma, emotional ups and downs, and substance use, and I’m trained in EMDR. While I have experience with more intense situations, I also work with people who feel stuck, reactive, or disconnected and want to understand why.

“I am a physician trained in Cuba with over 20 years of medical experience, and I have been working in this country for the past 5 years as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

My approach is to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care by listening carefully to your concerns and working with you to develop the best treatment plan for your needs. I combine my medical background with a compassionate and personalized approach to support your mental health.”My goal is to provide professional, compassionate, and personalized mental health care.”

I try to keep therapy real, practical, and focused on what actually helps. You don’t need to show up with the perfect words or a clear explanation of what’s going on—that’s something we’ll figure out together.

I’m someone who listens carefully but also isn’t afraid to be direct when it’s helpful. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, think things through, and leave sessions with a little more clarity than you came in with.

Most of all, I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation. My role is to help you make sense of things and support you as you move toward the changes you want in your life.
