Grief counselors and therapists in Ormond Beach, FL

I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Cincinnati and have dedicated my career to serving individuals, families, and communities through the field of social work. With years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based support, I am committed to empowering others, fostering resilience, and helping people navigate life’s challenges with confidence and hope.

I have dedicated most of my career to working in the healthcare and mental health industry, helping clients overcome life's many struggles.

I am trained to employ a variety of techniques, which include cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for anxiety, depression, and other related disorders. I also have special interests in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and coaching. All of my techniques are compassion-focused, person-centered, solution-oriented, and strength-based therapies

I know that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re carrying a lot on your own. I believe deeply in the strength, warmth, and resilience that come from our cultura, and I bring that understanding into every session.

I work with clients who want support navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions, particularly when cultural identity and family dynamics play an important role. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood, while also using research-backed tools that truly help you move forward.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, sleep issues, weight challenges, parenting struggles, or the impact of a life-altering injury or illness? I’m here to help. With over 30 years of experience as a licensed clinical health psychologist, I am committed to empowering you to tap into your inner strength, rediscover hope, and achieve personal growth. Together, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan with clear, measurable goals to track your progress and guide you toward lasting change.

I’m a bilingual (Spanish-English), bicultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and therapist supporting teens, college students, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, and cultural or identity-related concerns.
