Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Venice, FL

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.

My goal is to help you overcome the challenges you are facing in a safe and comfortable environment to help you improve your quality of life. My passion is helping those with substance use disorders, including alcohol and opioid use disorder, safely detox from the substances and work towards a meaningful and long-lasting recovery. With a decade of experience serving a wide range of patients I am a dual-certified family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.

Taking the step to seek mental health support can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and complex mental health needs.

I have experience working across high-acuity hospital settings, partial hospitalization programs, and community-based care, which allows me to support individuals through both everyday challenges and more complex clinical situations. My goal is to create a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected.

If you're an adolescent or adult carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or the kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating life on your own for too long, therapy with me is meant to feel calm, unhurried, and genuinely supportive. I work with teens and adults facing relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and stress that's hard to shake. I also support parents of children and young adults with ADHD or autism-related needs, and I have experience working with individuals and families facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. My background spans community mental health, crisis stabilization, outpatient care, and hospital settings, so I've sat with a wide range of what people go through.

As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals across the lifespan focusing majorly in adults. I bring a holistic and integrative approach to treatment—addressing both emotional and physical well-being
