LGBT therapists in Homestead, FL

Great to Meet you!!! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient centered care in a safe and supportive environment. I work collaboratively with each individual to understand their unique experiences, goals, and challenges.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? I help adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and ADHD through structured, supportive online therapy. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who feel pressure to “hold it together” while struggling internally.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 13 years of experience. I provide online therapy and am in-network with major insurance plans to make care accessible and practical.

Hello and welcome to therapy. You are one step closer on your journey to achieving your goals, passions, and intentions. You and I will develop a therapeutic relationship as you work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other areas that you would like growth in. You will utilize the strengths that you already have, and keep expanding on those. It is my job to create a safe, open, and person-centered environment. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey! Keep going and growing.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not like yourself, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it on your own. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, life transitions, or emotional burnout, therapy can help you regain clarity and control. Together, we’ll focus on understanding your full experience—not just symptoms—so you can move toward lasting, meaningful change and feel more grounded in your daily life.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

I specialize in treating various psychiatric conditions, including depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and schizophrenia.

While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives.
