As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my focus is helping adults and working professionals navigate high-stress environments, burnout, career demands, and significant life transitions. Juggling professional responsibilities alongside personal life often leaves little room to process stress effectively or reset. My goal is to provide a focused, practical space where you can step back, clarify your priorities, and develop sustainable strategies to regain balance and momentum in both your work and personal life.

You might feel alone in this struggle but you don’t have to be. My work, which has been shaped by my own experiences of suffering and clinical training, is more than a career, it is a calling. I help people move from surviving to living with intention, calm, and confidence.

I have an undergraduate degree in psychology, and a master’s in clinical social work. I specialize in treating OCD and other anxiety disorders with Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy. I use this therapy because I’ve seen it help people begin living the lives that they want to live without fear being the driving force.

I also have a background in working with parents who are experiencing challenging situations. Whenever I work with children, I work with the caregivers as well in order to improve family unity and create lasting change.

I am very trauma-aware in that I recognize the role that past experiences have had in shaping who we are today. My philosophy is that these experiences don’t have to hold us back, but that healing is a journey to be embraced.

Sometimes life changes in ways you never expected. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, the transition into parenthood, or the emotional demands of caring for others, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything together. You don't have to face those challenges alone. For more than 20 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, women's issues, and trauma, helping them build resilience, strengthen relationships, and rediscover hope during life's most difficult seasons. Working with children, adolescents, and adults, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to move toward lasting healing.

Virtual • Indiana


As a bilingual counselor who was born and raised in Panama and moved to the United States in 1992, I understand how culture, identity, and life transitions can shape a person’s emotional well-being. My own experiences, along with witnessing the personal and often isolating struggles within my community, inspired my commitment to helping people feel connected, supported, and empowered during challenging times.

I earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Human Services from the University of Indiana in 2011. My counseling style is proactive, compassionate, collaborative, and comprehensive. I work with individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds to better understand their experiences, identify meaningful goals, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

In our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where your voice, values, and goals guide the work. Together, we will build on your strengths and help you reclaim a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and control in your life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Fort Wayne, IN

Searching for therapists in Fort Wayne starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People look for therapy in Fort Wayne for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Fort Wayne offers a mix of local therapy options across areas like Downtown, Northside, and South Side, with virtual sessions adding more choice when office location or scheduling matters. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home or work, while others choose virtual therapy for a schedule that fits their day. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that match your availability, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists in Fort Wayne, review bios, and book directly when you find someone who matches your needs, schedule, and insurance plan.
