Sometimes kids don’t have the words for what they’re feeling—and honestly, adults don’t always either. That’s where play comes in. Play is a child’s natural language. Through play-based, child-centered counseling, I help kids express big feelings and feel confident being themselves while building self-trust, coping skills, and connection at their own pace. And while play may look different as we grow, the need for a supportive space doesn’t disappear. For teens and young adults navigating anxiety, identity, or or life transitions, therapy becomes a place to slow down, untangle patterns, and take steps toward what matters most.
I’m a bilingual, first-generation therapist offering play therapy interventions for kids, plus humanistic and cognitive-behavioral approaches for teens and young adults. I tailor each session to your child’s or your needs, all with cultural sensitivity, creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore and grow
Starting therapy doesn’t require having the right words—just a willingness to show up. l’m here to offer compassion, curiosity, and encouragement as you navigate the journey ahead. If you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, present, and values authenticity, I believe we could be a great fit! New clients welcome in Florida—en inglés o en español.

I support kids, teens, and adults with anxiety, self-esteem, identity, and life's messy feelings. Play therapy helps little ones open up (because toys talk better than words). My approach is creative, culturally sensitive, and judgment-free. Building confidence, calm, and connection along the way.

In the first session, kids usually take their time exploring the playroom and expressing themselves in creative ways. For teens and adults, we focus on getting to know each other and setting meaningful goals. Therapy helps you build coping skills, emotional resilience, and better communication. Think of me as your mental health personal trainer- building emotional muscles without the sweat.
