About Me
An Experienced Therapist in Florida
I now support individuals navigating marriages, divorces, break-ups, pregnancy challenges, substance use, family issues, job and relocation changes, loss, personal transitions, and gender journeys, honoring each person’s unique, meaningful story.
Offering virtual sessions since 2019, I’ve devoted over 300 full days to guiding clients across Florida toward clarity, growth, and results. Supporting individuals since 2001 (Nicaragua) and 2007 (Florida) totals 20+ years of intentional, meaningful work.
If you have been a client, with certainty I can say: THANK YOU! GRACIAS! You’ve given me so much, taught me so much, and reminded me of the beauty of being human. Much love always!

Trauma-Informed Therapist in Florida.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I have completed and practiced a variety of certifications and trainings focused on trauma-informed services. What that means is that I integrate trauma-awareness into every session, ensuring you feel safe, seen, and supported.
I’m also trained in holistic techniques and energy healing practices like visualization, meditation, Reiki, and even a little somatic magic when needed.
You’re a full, multilayered human. And therapy should reflect that.
Therapy Can Be Easy.
My approach is collaborative, intuitive, and real. No stiff silence or endless “How does that make you feel?”
You’ll get practical tools, bold perspectives, and permission to show up as your full, messy, brilliant self. We might cry. We might laugh. We might curse (it happens).
And yes, if you tell me about your dog, I’ll remember their name. (Shoutout to my own emotional support crew: Kali the dog, and my two cats, one loud, one lazy, both fabulous.)
I believe in therapy that feels supported, honest, and deeply human. No performance, no judgment. Just two people working through life stuff together, with heart and intention.
Let’s be honest…
Therapy can feel scary. Yet, it can feel easier when you’re with the right therapist. Someone who gets your inner world. Someone who creates space for all of you, the parts you love and the ones you’re still learning to accept.
If you’re looking for a therapist who prioritizes your heart, follows a strategy, and honors being human (with a soft spot for bubble tea and funny tiktok videos), I might just be your person.
Credentials & Curiosity
I’ve completed hundreds of hours of clinical training, advanced certifications, and professional development. I’m always learning, because there’s always more to consider.
Alongside my clinical degrees, I hold an MBA that my father encouraged me to take (thanks, Dad), which gives me a unique perspective when supporting high-achievers struggling with burnout, perfectionism, and identity.
I also lead corporate wellness events, offer virtual therapy throughout Florida, and run community-based gatherings for connection and shared growth.
After the passing of my mother on 2011, I also began my own spiritual understanding journey. Since then, besides classes and certifications in alternative modalities, I completed a school of mystery 2 year program which awakened my witchyness and whimsical side.
Not pushy, just inviting.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a conversation that honors both your strengths and your struggles. Together, we look at what is shaping your experience and how to move toward balance and clarity.
What A Session With Me Will Look Like
You come in, and once you let me know you’ve arrived. I’ll greet you, probably barefoot, and with a change of hairstyle every so often.
We’ll start exploring what’s been happening in your life. Based on what you share, we’ll address patterns, concerns, fears, and changes that you want. And all at your own pace.
No structure. No complex plan. Just you being you, and me supporting you.
Here’s the story my logo tells..
Let me tell you about my logo and why I chose it. When I first saw this image, what came through to me was the many layers that make up who we are as humans. We carry the past, live in the present, and move toward the future all at once. At the same time, we hold both masculine and feminine energies, alongside countless values, beliefs, and systems that shape our unique humanity. This logo captures that sense of complexity and wholeness.
It also mirrors the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind, showing that alignment and integration are more important than perfection. For me, this logo symbolizes the journey of understanding and uniting all parts of ourselves, creating space for healing, awareness, and growth.
Lastly, I would like to thank Caroline Maniere from her Totems collection for painting this logo. At its core, the image represents unity and integration. It draws from the concept of yin and yang; not as opposing forces, but as energies that exist together, shaping the human experience. It reflects how all these layers of our being interact continuously, inviting balance, self-acceptance, and deeper awareness.
