Habla Español! I am now accepting new clients as of 1/24/2026. I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing compassionate, culturally responsive therapy to individuals and their caregivers. I specialize in addiction, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, grief, geriatric care, caregivers, life transitions, and women’s issues. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy, I help clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and heal. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients can grow, regain balance, and move forward with confidence.
I provide therapy and care coordination for patients across Florida in various living settings, private homes, and via telehealth. My approach is personalized to each client’s unique needs, integrating techniques such as Behavioral Activation and Progressive Muscle Relaxation to promote emotional well-being, resilience, and improved daily functioning.
Taking the first step toward change takes courage, and I commend you for seeking a happier, more fulfilling life. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone—I’m here to help. Call today for a free 15-minute consultation, and let’s take the next step together!
