I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and my main focus is helping minors and adults address problematic sexual behaviors, men’s issues, and the unique experiences of those who identify as LGBTQ+.
I also work with couples who are navigating the challenges of polyamory and exploring healthy relationship dynamics.
I offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive space for clients to explore challenges related to substance use, codependency, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
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.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Experiencing transitions or periods of uncertainty? Are you going through a phase of impactful life changes? Such as moving to a new area, relationship transitions, career changes or even being on your own for the first time. I have experience working with young adults and college student's, helping them manage and find solutions during crucial periods in their life.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe in prioritizing mental health for all persons as s key to happiness and stability. Congratulations in taking the first and hardest step in seeking mental health treatment. I’ve been practicing for 30 years, but in the last decade, I have been focusing both on med management and individual therapy.
