I have more than 30 years of experience in the behavioral health field and have been in private practice since 2003. I work with adults, older adults, adolescents, individuals, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, grief, stress, relationship challenges, ADHD, anger, impulse control, substance use concerns, cultural or ethnic issues, and major life transitions. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology in Cuba in 1982 and later completed my Master’s degree at Florida International University in 1998. My background has shaped a warm, culturally sensitive, and practical approach to therapy.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult at first. My goal is to help clients feel safe, respected, and supported as they take that courageous first step toward feeling better and becoming a healthier version of themselves.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Searching for OCD therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with finding someone trained in exposure and response prevention therapy, often called ERP. ERP is a common therapy approach for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, or rituals, read therapist bios for direct mentions of OCD experience, ERP training, and related approaches that fit your needs.
Fort Lauderdale has a range of mental health care options across Broward County and the broader South Florida area. Your best fit may depend on practical details, including appointment times, office location, virtual availability, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond a therapist who lists OCD as a specialty and check whether their profile describes specific ERP training or structured work with obsessions and compulsions. A free phone consultation can also help you learn how a therapist approaches care before booking a first session.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin. Headway helps you search for a therapist in Fort Lauderdale, FL who matches your preferences, offers in-person or virtual care, and accepts a wide range of insurance plans, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
