Therapists in Weston, FL

Unexpected things will happen from time to time, and some can be significant and life changing. Change can make you feel uncertain about what to do or how to manage things. It doesn't mean you are going to feel like that forever, and you don't have to go through it alone. It's OK, we've all been there. Although at times we might not have control over these situations, together we can figure out a way to better deal with all of it, coming out on top. I'm a BILINGUAL (Spanish/English) Therapist, with a passion for helping my clients discover positive and healthy ways to move forward.

In my practice, my goal is to always meet clients where they are and identify the strategies that will help them make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. I recognize that some people seek therapy with clearly defined goals in mind, while others are simply trying to "figure things out" and determine their future directions. I tailor my approach to the individual needs of each client, and draw from my 20 years of clinical experience when developing treatment plans. I offer individual and couples therapy, either in person or via phone or video conferencing when necessary. Goal directed coaching services are also available.

Let me help you--TURN CONFLICT INTO CONNECTION. Couples who avoid addressing problems, continue in negative, hurtful patterns, or wait too long to get help, can destroy their trust in each other and their commitment to the relationship. Stop fighting, and start understanding. This is a huge opportunity to improve your relationship. Pain creates motivation to change. Smart couples who care about their relationsh seize moments like these, and make the investment in professional support and guidance. Good marriage counseling helps you learn about each other, solve problems, learn how to communicate and repair your faith in each other.

I help stressed-out individuals feel less overwhelmed and have more peace. You're hard on yourself and find yourself paralyzed with fear of making a wrong step. You're afraid to make decisions or take risks in your life until you've found the "perfect" answer or solution. The indecision and fear of failure stop you from taking action because you get stuck in a haze of self-doubt, worse case scenarios, and uncertainty. I help individuals feel less anxious, have more courage, self-compassion, and make vital changes in their lives.

Being a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist, I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families that are looking to confront life challenges. I have experience providing individual, couple, and family therapy in both private practice and hospitalized settings. My experience ranges from managing a clinical team, providing therapy directly to clients, and designing clinical programs in substance abuse facilities.

The decision to pursue therapy to help guide you towards making the decisions that will best serve you in life can be the first step towards success. Perhaps you are struggling with a relationship that has become toxic or just feels stuck?

Life is full of personal and professional challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. When this happens, it can be enormously helpful to have a reliable, consistent space for ourselves in which we can search for our own answers in the context of a safe, strong therapeutic relationship. Therapy becomes a springboard and an open invitation to "go" emotionally where we may hesitate to go by ourselves, but deep down know it would be beneficial. A new relationship with ourselves may emerge as a result of this process; when this happens, our experience of life, including our pain and symptoms, is transformed.

I have worked extensively in the following areas: ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, Asperger's, stress management, adoption issues, grief and interpersonal relationships.

Allow me to help you find the beauty in getting to know yourself more, understanding your patterns that do not work anymore and creating new ways of coping.
