Hey there and welcome! Congratulations on taking your first steps in your path towards healing. Let me introduce myself: I am a Cuban-American clinician recently relocated from Miami, and I am fluent in English and Spanish! I received both my Bachelor's degree and Master's in psychology at Florida International University. I am a cat mom, self-proclaimed movie critic, and a decent baker. As a therapist, I hope to be your guide and walk alongside you while we work on whatever difficulties you'd like to tackle. I believe we are all deserving of a fulfilling life, and although the path to healing is not linear, we can get there.
My approach to counseling is client-centered, taking into account your personal goals to tailor treatment to you. In treatment, I used evidence-based methods like CBT and DBT, and ensure to create a safe space for you to feel at home. I specialize in helping individuals faced with life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, and trauma.
My goal as a counselor is to provide you with the right tools and authentic support through empowerment and compassion. I believe in therapy being accessible, acting as a place free of judgement where you can find relief and growth. I invite you to reach out, so together we can collaborate and navigate your path towards healing.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety and depression related to life transitions, burnout, past traumas, and factors of day to day life. During our initial sessions, we will work collaboratively to make a plan addressing the setbacks that prevent you from meeting your desired goals in life. Many of my clients see gradual improvement and sustainability.
