I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eight years of experience, including two years of independent licensure. I completed a Post-Master’s Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy at National University in 2024. I earned my Master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University in 2013 and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from FIU, as well as an Associate’s degree in Psychology from Miami-Dade College. My work emphasizes wellness and anxiety.
I focus on treating anxiety disorders through neuro-informed approaches. My experience spans schools, community settings, residential programs, and agency work. I support individuals and families who are motivated to use practical strategies that strengthen daily wellness.
My journey into mental health work began with an interest in people, relationships, and emotional well-being. Through training and experience in multiple settings, I developed a focus on anxiety, wellness, and relational care that informs my collaborative, compassionate approach.
