About
Thank you for checking my profile. Life can be difficult, especially in our current times. Seeking help at any age can still be a big, intimidating step but it can create the possibility and opportunity of needed change. I have helped a wide range of individuals at almost all stages of life: From teens and college aged students struggling to connect, express and deal with planning a future, to young adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s grappling with directing the arc of their lives. I’ve worked with those in their 50s and 60s reevaluating their life’s path. And finally, those 70 and up to get help and support at this later stage in life.
I try to take a down to earth approach. I treat each person with respect with a good listening ear. I partner with my client to vent, sort out, organize, problem solve, gain self-understanding, and discover agency to deal with a very strange, different world. Managing stress & anxiety, navigating life transitions, coping with changes (large and small), motivation, and self-esteem parenting are all areas I have worked with. Creative problem solving and even mindfulness practices can help in many circumstances. Some describe this as a journey to find one’s self and become comfortable in one’s own skin.
I’m originally from Miami with parents of mixed cultures: Hispanic, Asian, and European. This has helped my understanding of others not to mention opening up many opportunities for humor. My current client load has a great deal of diversity and working with other cultures is another area I am very comfortable with. I especially welcome anyone seeking help to help themselves. Lastly, I am licensed in Florida with 30 years of professional work experience.
