About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. It has been my pleasure to foster great rapport with my previous clients by helping them navigate the difficulties and challenges of their lives. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of settings. I specialize in individual counseling and I have worked with children, adolescents, and families.
My specialties include: anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, domestic violence, and immigration/acculturation problems.
My theoretical orientation is eclectic, combining cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral approaches with mindfulness and motivational interviewing.
My approach to therapy comes from the belief that every individual is their own expert and possesses the inner wisdom that guides them to find the right path, and my role as a counselor, is to help uncover your inner wisdom and resiliency.
