About

I am a licensed therapist in Miami, FL. My style is strength based, trauma focused, directive, empowering, solution-focused, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental. I believe strongly in fostering a therapeutic relationship where my clients can openly discuss ways their unique backgrounds and experiences impact their lives. My approach is collaborative — we'll work together to help identify and reach your goals. I welcome an open dialogue to create the best therapy for you as an individual. I see the immense strength, value, and potential for self-growth in each of my clients. My model for treatment of each client depends of course on that particular person’s needs and goals.
