Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for over 17 years doing what I love most! I am bilingual and can communicate fluently in English and in Spanish. I obtained my Bachelors degree at the University of Florida in Psychology and my Social Work Masters degree at Barry University.  My early training was working with traumatic cases of domestic violence with adults and children.

 

I was employed by non-profit agencies such as Kristi House, where I gained a great deal of experience in working with sexually abused children and adolescents. At Kristi House I facilitated individual and group trauma resolution therapy.

 

Following Kristi House, I worked for many years at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital helping families of diverse cultures through counseling and providing crisis intervention. I then began my private practice in 2016 with Coral Gables Counseling and in 2025 started VLS Therapy.

 

Some of my specialties include: family dynamics stressors, anger management, behavioral problems, self-esteem issues, traumas, PTSD, relationship issues, LGBTQ+, infertility, anxiety and depression.  I implement different therapy techniques according to the client’s needs.

 

I am looking forward to working with you and help you find your strengths and achieve your self-enhancing goals.
