Are you facing challenges in your life? I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Are you facing challenges in your life? We all have the tools that we need in order to succeed in face of life's challenges, however, sometimes we need some help finding access to these tools. My focus in therapy is on what is POSSIBLE in life and in our relationships with others and on working to eliminate the barriers that stand between us and what we want to achieve in life. I love working with children, adults, and especially with relationship issues, using a variety of techniques. Issues caused by our life transitions do not exist in a vacuum and as such, a big part of my approach to helping people is to help them reconnect in the relationships they have and to establish a new sense of community and family.
Esta enfrentando retos en su vida? Todos tenemos las herramientas que necesitamos para poder tener éxito en frente de los retos de la vida- sin embargo, a veces necesitamos ayuda para encontrar el acceso a tales herramientas. Mi enfoque en la terapia es concentrar en que es POSIBLE en la vida y en nuestras relaciones con los demás, trabajando en eliminar las barreras que existen entre nosotros y lo que queremos lograr en la vida. A mi me encanta trabajar con los niños, las familias, y con individuos y parejas, y uso una variedad de técnicas incluyendo el uso de terapias de las artes expresivas y terapia de juego. Los problemas causados por nuestras transiciones en la vida no existen solos y debido a eso, una gran parte de mi enfoque en ayudar a los demás es ayudándoles formar conexiones en las relaciones que tienen y establecer un nuevo sentimiento de pertinencia a sus comunidades y familias.
