Intellectual Disability Therapists in Miami, FL

Is your child facing challenges in school? Are they having trouble concentrating? Suspecting a learning disability? If you or your child is struggling with social, behavioral, emotional, or academic issues, I'm here to assist! Take a proactive approach rather than reacting to a problem that can be addressed if identified early. Evaluations provide valuable insights for treatment, enabling other professionals to make informed decisions for your well-being. Knowledge is empowering! I provide thorough assessments of psychological disorders with a focus on learning disorders, intellectual disability, autism, and ADHD.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinical psychologist who specializes in the assessment of autism, ADHD, learning disorders, intellectual disability, mood disorders and a range of psychiatric disorders. Evaluations are conducted for diagnostic clarity to guide treatment, intervention and offer detailed recommendations that will help you succeed and reach your highest potential. Once the evaluation is completed, I will provide a comprehensive report and meet with you to discuss the results, explain the findings and review the recommendations.

We all experience stressors on a daily basis, however these stressors can sometimes become triggers and become a heavy load for us to carry through life. We start experiencing difficulties with our relationships with others, in our work or studies and we don't find pleasure in activities we used to.

My first goal is to build extensive rapport with my clients. I don't take the "expert role" but rather I would like to align with you to find out how we can work as a team to achieve your goals and decrease the difficulties you are experiencing. Fears, doubts, perceived failures and inability to express your needs can cause great distress. Let me help you get back on track and achieve more of what you want in life.

Accepting new clients as of 7/20/2024.

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who began my career volunteering in the Child Life department at Miami Children's Hospital, in 2007. It was there that I first developed a passion for helping children. I later discovered the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and loved that I could make a difference in the lives of others through the application of science. I provide ABA therapy where the behaviors are most likely to occur: in the home, at school, and in the community.

My approach is neurodiversity affirming. My role as an evaluator is to listen, understand, & accept a client's lived experience & help identify their struggles, as well as identifying their strengths and aspirations. The evaluation process is a collaborative one in which clients, regardless of age (youths get to be truly heard), have an opportunity to share experiences without time constraints & without having to be viewed solely through a set of test data & questionnaires. While these tools can help clients communicate concerns, test data alone is not the best method in truly understanding one's unique experiences & circumstances.
