Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Pinellas Park, FL

Hi there, Congrats on making it to this step! Looking into therapy can be overwhelming, whether it is your first time or your familiar with it. You may think, is this really for me? I am here to tell you that you are not alone in this journey. I believe therapy is for anyone and everyone. Whether you are going through a crisis or not, having someone unbiased to talk to can help.

I know that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you're already carrying a lot. I'm a licensed therapist dedicated to helping you better understand yourself and navigate life with greater confidence and clarity.

With over five years of experience in private practice and nonprofit mental health, I help teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. My background also includes research experience at FIU's Center for Children and Families and the THRIVE Clinic at the University of Miami Hospital.

I believe meaningful change starts with feeling heard and understood. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, I strive to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where we can work together toward your goals.

As a licensed mental health counselor and Board Certified Behavior Analyst, I pride myself in having a warm, down-to-earth style that puts children at ease and allows me to enter their world and get a better understanding of their challenges and needs. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I have over 25 years of experience working with children with special needs. I specialize in evaluations for Gifted, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Learning Disabilities & Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I specialize in working with adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational conflicts, as well as those simply seeking to improve their lives.

I have over 15 years of therapeutic services with individual, couples and family.

I have over 25 years of professional experience in addition to having a dual degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been one who always believed that you never stop learning. I am humbled by my vast interactions with both individuals, and or couples who have allowed me to learn and grow as a person from them. This is what separates me from my colleagues. My training is derived from not only you but gaining valuable experience by working in Hospital Emergency Rooms, Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals for Both Children & Adults, Substance Abuse -Dependency Clinics, Correction Mental Health as well as Alzheimer's-Dementia and Nursing Home Facilities. In addition, working in Private. Practice. I am extremely comfortable working with people of all ages, genders and ethnicities.

I understand how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying more than your share. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I work with adults who find themselves stuck in cycles of overwhelming anxiety, depression, panic, and fear, or weighed down by the endless demands of responsibilities. Many of my patients describe feeling exhausted, unfocused, and unable to enjoy the life they’ve worked so hard for—yet they still struggle silently, unsure where to turn for help.
