It is my belief that each individual has a unique path that leads to healing, self-discovery and growth. As human beings, our life experiences, relationships and beliefs are varied, and as a therapist I honor these differences. I believe in the power of therapy as a means to heal through pain, but also in exploring greater meaning in one's life and relationships. I believe we can all benefit from therapy and gain valuable perspective about who we are and how we became that way. We can’t run away from the tough stuff.. Pain and suffering are a part of our human condition and can also be a huge opportunity for growth.

I work with clients to address a wide range of concerns that cause personal distress, which can be experienced as feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. Moments of distress may also be marked by interpersonal difficulties with others, including family, friends, co-workers and partners, which can also be explored in therapy. In my work with couples, I carefully attune to each person's needs, as well as, to the couple as a whole. I also work with clients to pinpoint areas of communication that can be strengthened, developing stronger communication abilities that can positively affect other life areas as well.

I enjoy helping individuals and couples to overcome challenges they face in their lives and in their relationships. The way back to wellness requires confronting with compassion what holds you back, what makes your life stagnant, what prevents you from experiencing connection, love, resilience. Together we will discover what is important to you, and attend to it so you can feel joy in being you and meet the world with courage, openness, spontaneity, and purpose.

This may be your first time reaching out for help, which can feel really anxiety-provoking. Whether you desire to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, improve your relationships, live a more fulfilled life, or address specific concerns, you are not alone and I can help you. I place a heavy emphasis on creating a non-judgmental, warm, and supportive space for you to address what may be weighing on you. You may find that you prefer a more directive approach where I offer more guidance or specific skills, or a more non-directive approach where you lead the way and together we explore your different feelings, thoughts, and values.

I'm a bilingual Licensed School Psychologist in Florida. In the last 20 years of my clinical experience, I have been helping children to optimize their learning, to become the best version of themselves, and succeed in school and in life. With a whole-child and holistic approach, I am specialized in twice exceptionalities, learning disorders, ADHD, and giftedness, working with both children and their families. I have provided hundreds of psychoeducational assessments (in English and Spanish), guidance to families from diverse cultures and backgrounds, educational therapy to children with different learning profiles.

I take a whole-person approach to supporting adults who seek self-exploration and growth. During sessions, you may practice defining your values, getting unstuck, and managing difficult sensations with self-compassion and mindfulness. Through role play and guided reflections, I will equip you with tools you can use to feel confident and resilient. I integrate clinical and yoga expertise with my personal perspectives as a woman of color, as a mother, and as a therapy client.

Are you suffering with feelings of sadness, irritability, or depression? Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and worry? These types of concerns and the issues that lead to them are what I specialize in helping people with. I offer a warm, comforting environment where you can feel safe sharing things that might be too intimate or embarrassing to discuss with a family member or friend.

You are facing the precipice of becoming an adult and are told, “GO!” But you think, “Go where? What is my plan?” The idea of having to live each day, plan each day, may feel impossible. Of course you feel overwhelmed! You. Are. Not. Alone. #adulting is overwhelming without the necessary tools.

I am passionate about working with teens and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and/or body image issues. Through my clinical training as a therapist, along with my fitness and nutrition background, I use a creative and flexible approach to help individuals work through their difficulties while also highlighting their strengths. My mission is to help clients know themselves, their triggers, their patterns and learn ways to connect better to themselves and others. I believe that everyone has within them the tools they need to feel and live their best lives.

Therapy is a collaborative partnership built on trust, empathy, and honesty. I strive to create a warm, safe space for my clients to explore, grow, and develop confidence and trust in themselves. As a therapist, I focus on the person, not just the problem. My goal is to provide support and help you hone in on your resilience and resourcefulness, so you leave our sessions feeling empowered, centered, and in control.

Emotional and psychological health are the keys to a happy and successful life! In today's fast-paced and ever changing world, we may find ourselves less likely and less able to control or predict events and circumstances in our lives. But with a healthy mind and attitude, we can be more resilient, and can respond in healthier, more appropriate ways (with a lot less stress!)

The people I work with are basically emotionally healthy. But anxiety; self-doubt; and even anger are examples of what can undermine self-esteem and confidence in who we really are. The key to moving forward is identifying what undermines confidence and clarity in ourselves and our relationships - all of which depend on 1) confidence 2) strong self-esteem and 3) the ability to be emotionally available/honest and genuine.

Trauma is the inability to be in the present. Trauma therapy is not about understanding what happened, in fact talking about it can be retraumatizing (Bessel 2020). Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk is a world-renowned trauma research and author of “The Body Keeps the Score”, a New York Times bestseller for years.

Many people suffer from painful emotions that may feel exhausting and depleting. If you are one of these many people, your suffering can be reduced through the use of effective skills for emotional balance, and those skills will create both revitalization and resilience. As a Doctor of Health Science, a Psychotherapist, and Yoga and Mindfulness Teacher, I have witnessed firsthand the transformational benefits of these skills in the lives of so many people. I believe that people everywhere should have access to valuable mental health practices that improve their emotional wellbeing, relationships and life overall.

Taking a moment to think about yourself is the first step towards greater insight. To develop the ability to observe and listen to oneself requires time and practice. A Psychotherapist can lead that effort and help to look into those aspects of yourself that bring trouble to your life as well as to open up to greater freedom and growth, helping you live and feel at your best.

The heart is wired for happiness while the brain is wired for protection. Sometimes these logical and emotional centers are at odds and our life can feel off kilter. I move my clients to a place where these systems feel synchronized, making decisions and living life from a place of love and not fear. Where both can come together to live harmoniously. I believe every decision and choice is an opportunity to curate the life we envision and the relationships we want to have. I work with clients in a therapeutic and coaching space to navigate life’s challenges and to help ease the anxiety that we all experience at times.
