I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, panic, grief, anger, and the kind of chronic stress that builds up quietly over time. My approach is strengths-based and solution-focused — we'll spend time understanding what's weighing on you, but we'll also build practical coping skills you can actually use between sessions. I've worked across a range of settings — inpatient psychiatric care, case management, group home work, and private practice — which means I'm comfortable with a wide range of presentations. As an LCSW licensed in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, and Montana, I can also be a stable point of contact if you move or split time between states. Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and I'd be glad to walk it with you.

I am a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Therapist from Colombia practicing in the state of Florida. I have worked with children, adolescents, and their caregivers who have experience trauma, anxiety and depression.

My personal journey was not one I would choose. My first husband was diagnosed with cancer in September 2004 and died in February 2006. The experience of spousal caregiving and young widowhood, and 10 years as a federal Special Agent eventually led me to change careers to become a counselor.

I love helping individuals and couples build meaning, self-acceptance, and self-worth despite grief, trauma, shame, and problematic behavior and relationship patterns.
