I am an impassioned licensed mental health counselor based in South Florida. I take pride in helping individuals self-actualize and transform into the best version of themselves. Additionally, I am a graduate of Nova Southeastern University and I procure a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling. My professional experience includes working in private practice, community mental health agencies and substance abuse treatment facilities. I am client-centered with my therapeutic approach and I employ strength-based approaches, cognitive behavioral strategies, trauma-informed techniques, and emotionally-focused techniques. I have expertise with crisis intervention, suicidal care, anxiety and depression, personal development and other common mental health issues. The essence of my practice aims to facilitate meaningful change through healing and self-discovery. I approach each client with therapeutic techniques that address individuals from a holistic perspective (mind, body, and spirit). I believe that true wholesomenesses and balance can only be attained once self is aligned holistically. I view human behaviors from a psychological perspective. With that said, I explore root causes of behaviors versus only highlighting the problematic behaviors. In my counseling sessions, I employ CBT and DBT techniques to process faulty thinking, emotional distress and behaviors. I also  employ psychoanalytic techniques to process learned behaviors from childhood, and trauma-informed techniques to identify and process trauma responses.
