I’m a licensed psychotherapist, registered nurse, and a board-certified sex therapist. I graduated with a master’s degree in Counselor Education, from Florida International University. My experience includes community mental health, correctional mental health, domestic violence/sexual assault counseling, and private practice. I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, family-of-origin issues, sexual issues, and intimacy issues. My most recent experience includes working as an adjunct professor, of psychopathology, at Barry University. Prior to pursuing a career in counseling, I worked in an acute care setting for over twenty years; First, as an intensive care room nurse; Later, as a case manager in the emergency department. I am fluent in English and Spanish. My approach is to begin by assessing all aspects of the client’s life, especially family history. This usually takes a session or two. It allows me to thoroughly understand the client and their motivations. I like to use a blend of cognitive-behavioral interventions, dialectical-behavioral therapy interventions, some psychodynamic interventions, and a lot of psychoeducation in my practice. I believe in a warm, professional, non-judgmental approach. I have much respect for all of my clients and admire the courage they have for taking the steps to look into themselves and evolve. I see the therapeutic relationship as a partnership rather than a therapist-knows-best relationship. I chose to become a counselor because I love the work and believe in its importance. I genuinely look forward to working with anyone seeking improvement and self-actualization. *Please allow 45 minutes to 1 hour for the first session and 24 hours to receive a response to messages.
