I provide a judgment free zone and a safe space to heal. I believe that everyone has the potential to live out the life they desire. I know some people have been challenged with finding a therapist that is a right fit and I make coming to session enjoyable even in those moments where we have to get to the parts of your life that are difficult. You will always be greeted with a smile and most of the time coming out of a session feeling like you can conquer the world.

Most of my clients are struggling with the daily issues of everyday life and relationships. They want to feel better but don't know how to break through habitual patterns of thinking and doing. Eventually frustration, unhappiness, and feelings of anxiety and depression set in. I know how hard depression is and how it strips away the simple pleasures of life, and how anxiety hijacks the ability to enjoy daily living. It doesn't have to stay this way. Maybe it's your time to make some changes for a different outcome. Like Nathaniel Branden, I believe, "Your life is important. Honor it. Fight for your highest possibilities." (1994)

I have a Latino - Caribbean background and prescribe to the label of islander.
New Hours 10am-3pm. My ideal client is a person, couple, or family that is willing to talk about finding a better way of life and may need someone to confide in. Also, those needing an unbiased and non-judgemental ear with feedback. In our society, I believe men in particular need a safe place to be heard and take off their armor. So I welcome all men to try therapy and explore themselves beyond what they can provide. Whether you struggle with pride, shame/guilt, saying no, or making decisions I welcome you. Growth is a lifelong process that cannot be rushed.

The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world, symbolizes the change in the perspective of self-realization. The kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life. We weave this meaning into the fabric of our mission and in the work we provide to every client enrolled at SHARE. Are you stuck or lost? Are you struggling with anxiety and fear? Are those intrusive thoughts derailing your days? Feeling disconnected from yourself or your partner(s) can leave you feeling unloved, undesirable, and alone. Whatever your struggle, I am here for you.

In life, we all go through difficult moments where we need to reinvent ourselves. Life’s circumstances often force us to question our self-esteem, confidence, and what we think of ourselves. Understanding how we feel is not an easy task, sometimes we get confused, and we may know something needs to change but don’t know how to do it. However, everything is easier when we seek professional help that can do what the people around us cannot, which is: listen non-judgmentally, understand our issues, challenge with respect, and guide us in dealing with our problems easier.

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.
How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
