Grief counselors and therapists in Deerfield Beach, FL

It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

Dual board-certified PMHNP & FNP with 25 years of nursing experience in women's health and obstetrics. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, insomnia, and perinatal mental health — offering medication management and CBT therapy. You'll feel heard, understood, and clear on what's been driving how you feel.

I’m a licensed therapist and Afro-Latina dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater self-awareness, compassion, and confidence. As someone born in the Dominican Republic, I understand the importance of culture, family, identity, and the experiences that can shape how we understand ourselves and our mental health.

My work focuses on supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and challenges related to identity and self-esteem. I also have a passion for making mental health care more accessible and culturally responsive, particularly within Latin, Black, and Brown communities where the stigma surrounding mental health exists.

My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms. Every patient receives individualized care tailored to their personal goals, medical history, and life circumstances.

I am a healthy 63 year old male who feels and relates like someone much younger but has the experience and wisdom to counteract that. I have been divorced and then successfully blended a family of 8 so have can practice what I preach

My experience centers on supporting clients of all ages through a wide range of life challenges. Guided by a solution-focused perspective, I believe holistic healing is a foundational part of effective client care. I am trained in EMDR, a therapeutic modality that helps clients process trauma and other difficult life experiences that may interfere with personal growth, relationships, and mental health. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and other concerns that can make it difficult to feel grounded or move forward. I hold a master’s degree from Colorado Christian University and have received training in both play therapy and EMDR. I have also worked with clients experiencing dual diagnoses within the field of substance use disorders, which has deepened my understanding of the connection between emotional pain, coping, and healing.
