I entered into the University of Central Florida’s Mental Health Counseling, M.A. Program, where I received intensive professional training. I graduated with my Master’s degree in mental health counseling in 2014. I relocated to SWFL where I have been practicing locally for 3 years, and will be obtaining my licensure as a licensed mental health counselor in early 2019. My clinical experience includes counseling at University of Central Florida’s Community Counseling Clinic, UCF’s Marriage & Family Research Institute, Florida Hospital’s Center for Family Care Counseling Department, and Samaritan Health & Wellness Center, Inc.

As a bilingual counselor, I provide both English and Spanish counseling services. From the moment individuals enter my office, I encourage them to “trust the process” as they embark upon their therapeutic journey of healing and self-discovery. I integrate various treatment interventions to develop the most appropriate holistic treatment plan to meet each of my clients’ needs. Most importantly, my hope is to create a safe space where clients can explore distressing issues, and begin the healing process. I challenge my clients to view this journey with excitement and remind them through every step that there is still hope! Si todavia hay esperanza!
