Welcome to a new way of looking at life. We are going to problem-solve and overcome obstacles together. All you will need is to be open and willing to work through the process. I started out my career working at the Department of Children and Families in New York where I discovered I wanted to obtain my Master’s degree in Counseling because I wanted to help individuals achieve their goals. I obtained my degree and commenced in the counseling field in 1996 working with families. I gained experience in mood disorders (depression, bipolar), substance abuse, conduct issues, and familial conflict. As the years passed, my knowledge expanded in mental health and substance abuse while working in inpatient and outpatient treatment with adults. I currently live in Florida where I achieved my LMHC and continue to work with individuals grappling with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive conditions. My ability to speak two languages (Spanish and English) has allowed me to reach a broader population. I know how difficult it is to make the decision to ask for help and begin the process of modifying ones thoughts and behaviors. However, I want to make this journey as smooth and painless as possible. I see emotional serenity in your future and I look forward to hearing from you.
