Within a safe and compassionate therapeutic relationship, you can discover new ways of relating to your own story and others.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of clinical experience working with children, families, and couples.

Venezuelan-born, Miami-raised native with a passion for helping individuals, couples and families achieve health within themselves and in their relationships.
