Life Coaching Therapists in Wilton Manors, FL

My mission is to help those seeking to establish peace with in themselves; to live a life established on an unwavering foundation.

As your therapist, I hope to provide a space for ALL of you, your joy, pain, fear, courage, and compassion. I began my love of therapy first as a client working through my own lived traumas. I spent a lot of time with therapists who didn’t look or have experiences like me. I found relief, but I never felt the depth I needed to heal. This inspired me to become a therapist. I use Solution-Focused, Narrative, Bowen Family System and Trauma-Informed models in my healing work with a focus on Decolonial and Indigenous frameworks. I have lived experiences with the immigration, prison, foster care, correctional, and mental health systems.

I work with clients to uncover limiting and damaging belief systems that prevent them from living a life that they love. I use a mixture of modalities and work with each individual to design a plan for maximum growth and transformation. Many of us operate from our damaged inner child mindset.
