I am a Florida-licensed psychologist born and raised in Cuba and focus on providing individual psychotherapy tailored to Hispanic/Latina women aged 30 and older.
Are you exhausted from catering to other people's needs—your family, partners, friends, and colleagues while neglecting your own—but unsure how to change? Even though you’re left feeling angry, you may suppress those feelings. You may feel guilty when you prioritize your needs. You may often feel compelled to please others (but not yourself) and struggle to set boundaries. Your decisions might often be influenced by their effects on those around you rather than being guided by your own needs, feelings, and wants, potentially limiting your freedom to authentically choose. As a result, your own desires may be overlooked.

I enjoy working with men and women from the teenage years to the elderly.
Life is a challenge we have to take on, it’s not what we see when we look at our neighbors or social media posts. We face difficult life transitions that everyone is trying to figure out. Most of us try to be polite and only show others around us the pretty parts. Our world is changing all the time and this can create feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, or other mental health issues. When life appears to be overwhelming therapy is a great resource; working with a trusted, empathic professional. You do not have to go through difficult times alone, working regularly with a therapist has become the new normal in our world.

My approach is compassionate and nonjudgmental. My goal is first and foremost to hold space for you to voice your concerns and express yourself authentically. As a therapist I take a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach often in tandem with EMDR to understand each client from a holistic viewpoint.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
