As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's in Counseling Psychology, I have over 13 years of experience practicing in the Boca Raton and South Florida area. I have trained with the counseling experts in individual and family therapy and I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including The Center for Treatment Research on Adolescent Drug Abuse at the University of Miami, The Delray Center for Healing, and now I am in private practice with The Relationship Center of South Florida in Boca Raton. I am bilingual and offer therapy in Spanish and English.

My therapy approach is caring and supportive- I can help you work through your problems and met your goals! I fit the therapy to best meet your needs and use the following methods: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Relaxation and Mindfulness tecniques, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Family Systems therapy.

In individual therapy with women, teens or parents, I use Cognitive Therapy which is directive and focused therapy where I help you address the thoughts that are affecting your feelings and how these thoughts affect your life. Cognitive therapy has been proven through research studies to be a very effective treatment for many mental health issues. With Cognitive Therapy, you will learn how to stop the negative thinking patterns that prevent you from reaching your goals! You will meet your goals and live your life to the fullest! You will practically become your own therapist!

In couples or relationship counseling, I use Emotionally Focused therapy. First, I help you figure out why you got stuck and give you tools to help you improve your communication, set boundaries, and spend quality time together. Then, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you repair the emotional connection and strengthen the bond. This is where you learn how you each push each other's buttons and where the communication and connection really breaks down. You will see the patterns and the dance that keep you stuck. You will rekindle the love that brought your together!
