Are you feeling overwhelmed? Struggling with stressful transitions in your life, such as career changes or relationship difficulties? Do you have mood swings or anxious thoughts? Can’t “turn off your mind”? Unable to pull yourself out of a “dark place”? Then I may be able to help.
I have over 30 years of experience in the treatment of a wide range of mental health concerns and specialize in working with professionals, young and mature adults, LGBT and women’s issues. My focus is on mood, anxiety and stress management and healthy transition and adjustment.
I am a Board-Certified Telehealth Professional.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Sex Therapist
Are you concerned about your sex life? As a sex therapist, I am passionate about helping clients navigate identity, relationships, or behaviors related to sex.
I believe in forming a positive relationship with my clients, by providing them with a safe and nonjudgmental environment, empathy, genuine and a collaborative effort. I believe psychotherapy is an essential tool for today's society in order to cope with life stressors, ailments and psychological distress and trauma. Ultimately, my goal is to promote positive changes in my clients life, help alleviate emotional distress and help create healthy relationships within their lives and community.
I am a Florida licensed Psychologist with over 40 years experience. I offer a solution focused approach to achieve emotional wellness. I am a bi-lingual (Spanish/English) therapist working with teens and adults, families and couples. My practice also includes psychological and neuropsychological evaluations.
Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship issues as an individual or a couple, I'll treat you with compassion using the most recent evidence-based research. Using an integrative approach, I tailor therapy to fit each client’s unique personality and their specific goals. If you’re struggling with unhelpful thinking patterns, we’ll work together to discover these thoughts and understand what led you astray. I’ll also help you develop a plan to improve your well-being. If you feel stuck with your goals, I can assist you in learning to accept your experiences and circumstances, particularly those that are beyond your control. If you’re questioning your life choices and purpose, we’ll delve into your existential questions and their emotional impact. My aim is to enhance your overall well-being and support you in achieving what’s most important to you.
My starting point is that virtually all mental health issues result from habits of thought, feelings, or behavior that were adaptive when they were formed but become maladaptive later in life. I begin my work by asking, "What happened to you?" rather than "What's wrong with you?"
Are you feeling unsatisfied in your current relationship?Are you the victim of narcissistic abuse? My specialty is helping individuals heal from narcissistic abuse and relationship conflicts. Did you suffer from abuse/neglect in childhood that continues to impact you in your present day life? Do you find that you are your own worst critic, unforgiving and judgmental towards yourself? You are not alone and don't have to carry the burden by yourself! My integrative approach to the therapeutic process honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
Are you tired of having the same argument over and over again? Do you wonder if you can ever reignite the spark in your sex life? Have you experienced a betrayal in your relationship and aren't sure if or how you can heal? Are you wanting to explore your sexual self but don't know where to start? If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place. You don't have to stay stuck. You can have a satisfying sex life and relationship.
My passion is to help people going through difficult life transitions. Many events in life can affect our stability; divorce, retirement, grief and loss, illness, accidents, losing your job, or living through a pandemic. Sometimes it's even hard to know why we feel how we feel. I help individuals, and also couples, overcome these difficulties.
Psychotherapy opens our perceptions to the meanings behind our beliefs and patterns of behavior, that in turn comprise the roles we take in our lives. My job is to help you integrate these perceptions and access these meanings, so you can expand your life by creating new roles.
