Therapists in Hollywood, FL

I am a licensed mental health counselor and Florida native. While I work with individuals of all ages, my primary work is with children and adolescents. I have training in behavior modification, family therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and developmental psychology. I work with individuals as young as 4 years old through adulthood. I strive to provide the most meaningful the most meaningful and effective clinical interventions to address client needs.

I am a licensed psychologist and received my doctoral degree from Boston College. I have a holistic approach to psychotherapy taking into consideration all the factors that interfere with your happiness and peace of mind. I like to understand you as a whole taking your upbringing, your culture, and your spirituality/religion into consideration. I specialize in helping people who are struggling with family and romantic relationships. I speak Spanish and English fluently. I am interactive in therapy and provide a safe environment. I will provide support but will also challenge you.

My approach to therapy is humanistic and strengths-based. I work with my clients to discover past and present successes and use these to address the challenges they face. I also use elements of narrative therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients recognize that the person is not the problem; the problem is the problem. I am trained in relaxation techniques, including hypnotherapy. I am so fortunate that people choose to share their stories and their lives with me.

I began working in the area of mental health over 20 years ago, the last 15 years have been in mental health as a child and family therapist. I have worked with children in a variety of environments from home to foster care. Working with children led me to expand my practice to include working with parents and families. I work with a wide range of mental health and behavioral issues including anxiety, depression, attention problems, anger and trauma. The life issues people face are also a key part of my practice, such as divorce, death of a loved one, a move to a new home or country and bullying .

I believe that the kind of relationship you have with yourself FIRST greatly impacts the kind of relationships you have with others around you. I work with minority women to tackle transitions in their lives such as with work, finances, school, and relationships that create stress and unhappiness in their lives. I focus on privileging your voice and the way you want to live your BEST life, even when it does not align with how the world wants you to live and be. Living authentically and vulnerably while setting and maintaining strong boundaries is the ONLY way we do not abandon ourselves for the sake of others.

Every person has a journey and challenges individually and in relationships, when often times may feel powerless, low self-esteem, no coping skills, anxious and depressed. Sometimes we may also feel unfocused on daily tasks or overall in life. Together we can understand and resolve many challenges by applying therapy methods tailored to you, as well as having the right guidance and help. Research shows that unhealthy relationships can cause both emotional and physical stress, whereas healthy relationships can enhance and improve overall well-being and a more meaningful life. Let me help you reach your personal goals.

I am a seasoned clinician with over 23 years of experience providing services to adolescents, adults and couples. Providing a warm, nurturing atmosphere where the person can feel safe and understood, I help my clients explore and understand how past/current issues are impacting and "coming in the way" of being able to fully enjoy life and set future attainable goals. We will address how certain emotions affect our way of thinking, performing and our capacity to feel "free".
