About

Individuals, couples, and families navigating the complexities of stress, trauma, and multicultural relationships often encounter unique challenges. Cultural differences, life transitions, and emotional trauma can be daunting. I'm here to guide you with empathy and openness. By fostering heartfelt communication, I empower you to embrace your journey and navigate adversity with grace. Together, we turn challenges into growth, equipping you with tools to heal and envision a future filled with hope, resilience, and unity. Let's transform obstacles into stepping stones for a brighter tomorrow. I am a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD), Bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA LMFT112227 and FL TPMF275). I have specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDP), Brainspotting, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I understand feeling stuck and alone when trauma or disconnection holds you back. You're seeking hope and a path to healing. Reach out, and together we’ll walk towards restoring joy and connection. Let’s turn your challenges into growth, empowering you to embrace life fully with renewed potential and strength. Specialties: I offer intensive sessions for couples looking to understand their communication patterns and learn how to communicate and relate more effectively. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Credentials & Experience: Also an Out-of-State Provider in the State of Florida
