Couples therapists in Florida

I know that sometimes asking for help can be difficult. Rest assured, we all need help at one time or another in our lives. I am dedicated to helping children, teens and adults discover their unique voice and express themselves in a safe, supportive and nonjudgemental space. With a warm, client-centered approach, I specialize in guiding individuals through life's challenges---whether it's anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, racial identity exploration, stress or family dynamics.

Sometimes the way you learned to cope is no longer helping you live the life you want. You may turn to substances when emotions become overwhelming, find yourself reacting with anger you later regret, or feel trapped between anxiety, depression, and painful experiences from your past. These struggles can begin affecting your relationships, family, confidence, and ability to recognize yourself. I provide virtual individual and family therapy in English and Spanish for adolescents, adults, and seniors throughout Florida, with a focus on substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and trauma. I also support clients navigating family and relationship issues, PTSD, grief and loss, stress, major life transitions, women’s issues, maternal mental health, identity concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and eating disorders when these challenges intersect with the primary reasons they seek therapy. My goal is to help you understand what is keeping you stuck, reconnect with your strengths, and develop healthier ways to move forward.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing trauma-informed, client-centered care that integrates EMDR, IFS parts work, and somatic approaches.

I specialize in postpartum mental health, anxiety, depression, motherhood, and women's issues. My approach is compassionate, supportive, and focused on helping you feel understood while giving you practical tools to navigate life's challenges. I believe motherhood is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured.

As a therapist for 8 years, I believe anything can be accomplished through the right therapeutic approach. It is not about fitting a client into a mold but creating a mold that fits the client. Through this journey, the client is the artist, sculptor, and visionary that recreates the new and repairs the old.

Professional, experienced, and knowledgeable Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with clients navigating both mental health and physical health challenges while providing a compassionate and comprehensive approach to care.

My background as both a Registered Nurse and Licensed Mental Health Counselor allows me to support clients in understanding the mind-body connection and creating realistic, sustainable paths to wellness.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and client-centered, integrating evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-behavioral techniques, trauma-informed practices, and solution-focused strategies, with a strong emphasis on holistic care. I employ a warm, direct, and empowering approach, helping clients strengthen their coping skills, improve communication, and build resilience in the face of stressors.

My professional background spans over 32 years, encompassing healthcare, behavioral health, and public health.
