Spanish Therapists in Parkland, FL

La incertidumbre es una de las experiencias más incómodas. Es fácil quedarse atrapado en patrones de pensamiento negativos como "Debería hacer más" y "No debería preocuparme por eso". A menudo, como resultado, experimentamos ansiedad o angustia. Crear equilibrio en su vida puede no parecer fácil, pero es posible. Buscar el apoyo de un psicólogo puede ser un paso poderoso para marcar la diferencia en su vida. Mi enfoque es en crear un entorno de colaboración para ayudarlo a desarrollar formas más adaptativas para manejar la angustia y hacer cambios positivos en su vida.

Me especializo en trabajar con personas de alto rendimiento que se preocupan por no estar donde creen que deberían estar, a pesar de su éxito, y que luchan con la ansiedad, la falta de confianza en sí mismas y el perfeccionismo. En nuestra cultura, a menudo priorizamos la singularidad personal, pero en el fondo, tendemos a reprimir nuestra individualidad, definiéndonos más por lo que hacemos que por nuestro verdadero ser. Como mujer inmigrante de color, tengo experiencia directa en cómo los factores contextuales y las identidades pueden agravar los desafíos a los que ya se enfrentan las personas de alto rendimiento.

La vida y sus transiciones pueden hacerte sentir derrotado, abrumado y atrapado. Sin embargo, estos "dolores de crecimiento" pueden abrir las puertas para experimentar más satisfacción y felicidad. Si has perdido la pasión en tu vida o en tus relaciones, te cuesta pasar el día, te sientes solo, arrepentido, idealizando el pasado, o incluso adormeciéndote de alguna manera para evitar sentirte vacío, es hora de un cambio.

A lo mejor fue el colegio el te sugerio que buscaras ayuda. Las cosas han llego a un punto que ya no sabes mas que hacer por ellos.

Are you having trouble coping with everyday problems? Do you feel overwhelmed in trying to deal with a close personal relationship? Is your child or teen struggling or making poor choices, or are the challenges of parenting too much to handle? Life situations can be stressful and can lead us to question our judgment and fill us with self-doubt. You try to address the issue, even with the support of family and friends, but this often seems futile. You may become depressed or anxious, or have difficulty managing your daily responsibilities.

A million thoughts cross your mind but it feels like no one understands. You don't feel like yourself anymore after things seem to have changed overnight. You want to reach out and ask for help, but your well-meaning loved ones often leave you more frustrated than before. After major life changes such as the bittersweet birth a baby, the confusion of a divorce, or the haunting images of a tragedy, we often feel like our whole world is falling apart around us. We seek to return to normality but somehow can't find the coping skills and support to help us rise back up.

Due to COVID-19, I have expanded my schedule to provide immediate openings for tele-therapy (video or phone sessions), in English and in Spanish.

Are you struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, or depression, and do you need help? Are you affected by bad habits, addictions, or compulsive thought patterns?

I have a 100% online practice, and I especially enjoy working with clients who are in transition—into high school, college, or young adulthood—and are motivated to learn techniques to grow and evolve. I especially love helping teens and young adults w/ High Functioning Autism, ADHD, LD, or Social Anxiety navigate college, work, or life. Making improvements in one's life takes time and energy both inside the virtual therapy room and in daily life, and I believe that learning concrete skills to implement outside of therapy is necessary to make progress. I use a variety of technology to support clients in using skills on the daily!

From the outside looking in, it looks as if you have it all together. You excel at school or work, you are always there for everyone, and you rarely complain or ask for help. But as good as everyone else thinks you are doing; it doesn’t feel anywhere near good enough to you. You often wonder how much longer you can keep up this image others expect from you. It's starting to impact your health, mood, and relationships. You want to stop aiming for perfection but it’s all you know.

Do you wonder if there is more to therapy than just learning how to manage your anxiety? Or do you think that there has to be a root cause for your chronic depression? There is. Although anxiety and depression may be genetic for some people, we are born as clean slates for the most part. My ideal client is someone who is tired of hearing that living with depression and anxiety is normal. He/she is interested in digging deeper, and understanding the underlying reason for his/her symptoms. He/she refuses to accept that life with anxiety or depression is the new norm, because they know a more empowered life is possible.

It is a new year and you want things to be different, you just don’t know how to get there. You realize that 2023 wasn’t that great and you don’t want to repeat the same mistakes in 2024. You have made resolutions in the past, and they stick around for a while, but they don’t necessarily last. You don’t know why and you don’t know how to make things different. All you know is that you want this new year to be about creating the new you. A new you that is happy, healthy and confident. A new you that doesn’t allow the negativity to get in your way, because you self-esteem and confidence are at an all time high!
