Do you feel different and misunderstood? Does it feel like a struggle to make sense of things? As a latinx, I have often struggled to find my place in a world that feels difficult to navigate. However, nothing makes me more proud than being me, and I want to help you feel better about yourself. My work as a therapist has been guided by fierce passion and compassion. I strongly believe we all have a place in the world, and that we not only fit, but we benefit it with our presence. Safety, empathy, and understanding are values that guide my practice as we work together to heal, grow, and help you understand the world around you.

As a two time graduate of the Florida A&M University, I have a passion to serve as a voice for the voiceless. I have worked with adolescents and adults both doing in person and telehealth individual, group, and family therapy. I have aided in the journey of those experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and communication concerns just to make a few. Often times, we have not been given the space to talk about our struggles both past and current. Perhaps we haven’t quite found the language to put to those feelings that we have felt for so long, or we weren’t taught how to express ourselves effectively.

My ideal client could be facing a variety of mental health concerns or a variety of other issues such as interpersonal relationship issues, work stress, interest in personal growth and more. They are willing to find and explore the things that work best for them and advocate for themselves to reach their goals. They want these things for a variety of reasons, which can effect how we approach but not my sincerity in being a trusted therapist that gives 100 percent to each client.

Everyone has times when they feel overwhelmed, frustrated and stressed. As human beings it is inevitable that we will encounter obstacles in our lives from time to time. I do believe it is during these times that we learn the most about ourselves. Many times people repeat the same destructive patterns in their lives without even realizing it. As someone who has struggled with anxiety issues myself in the past, I understand how debilitating it can be. I believe my own experiences have made me a much more empathetic therapist as I can completely understand and relate to what my clients are struggling with.
