Hispanic and Latino Therapists in Jacksonville Beach, FL
Life can feel out of control at times. I help people move out of the cycle of overwhelm and into a place of acceptance. My goal is to help individuals reconnect with who they authentically are, and heal from their emotional wounds keeping them stuck.
Using a solution-focus approach infused with mindfulness I help individuals develop practical tools while developing greater awareness and emotional balance. Rather than staying stuck in the past or spiraling into “what ifs,” we focus on what will help you feel better now — and how to sustain that mindset.

I will educate you and give you practical guidance...even in your first session!

With over 25 years in addiction treatment across residential programs, correctional settings, MAT, and community care, I’ve work with individuals used to handling life on their own—veterans, blue-collar professionals, members of the motorcycle community, and men and women who value loyalty, privacy, and strength. Many have lived through trauma, addiction, and years in survival mode, carrying the weight alone. My approach is direct, grounded, and respectful. I don’t judge or lecture. I meet you where you are and help you build a solid path forward. Therapy can be practical, honest, and connected to real life—not clinical or detached.

Life can leave you feeling stretched thin. Maybe your mind won’t turn off - replaying conversations, second-guessing what you said, wondering if you handled things “right.” This might leave you feeling sad, lonely, anxious, or simply drained, with nothing left in your tank. You're not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. My goal is to offer a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported - not judged. With over two decades of experience, I help clients untangle what feels overwhelming, gain clarity about what matters most, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and satisfying.

If you've ever asked the question, "“What do we do with our family member whose drug use and drinking is out of control?” you are not alone. I started The Chronic Hope Institute with the intention of offering my answer to that question—one I get almost every day. You have a much greater chance for success if the whole family, not just the addict, is engaged in recovery. My plan is quick and to the point so we can triage the immediate problem. Then, only once we put the initial fire out, would we spend more time addressing the bigger issues.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Counseling
What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic or Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, or Colombian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between English and Spanish in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counselor here.
How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in Spanish or another language? You may also ask about specific examples of when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
