ADHD Therapists in Sunny Isles Beach, FL

Life can be both challenging and rewarding. I hope to help you get through the challenges so that you can reach a place of happiness, peace, and calm. We all deserve to get the most out of life that we can, so make this the start of your path of healing.

I perceive psychotherapy as a process of teamwork, sharing of power, and ensuring that clients have a sense of hope. There is no single way to live one's life and, as a clinician, I respect when my patients believe they are sufficiently on track. I also offer comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations. These evaluations are commonly used to detect dementia, adult ADHD, learning disorders, and is used to support diagnosis such as Alzheimer's disease and Traumatic Brain Injury. At my practice, we offer comprehensive, personalized programs to help you build a stronger future and sustain it.

I work with those seeking support and compassion, while navigating difficult emotions, experiences, and the residual impact on the mind and body. I believe that acknowledgement of our humanity allows us the freedom to be who we are and who we want to be. Everyone holds the power to create their own reality. This reality is created by the barriers we choose to acquire and those we choose to repel, as the blossom of the lotus flower repels the muddy waters. My priorities as a therapist are to offer a safe space, help you reach your goals/ desires, and offer guidance to become unstuck when it feels nearly impossible.

I work primarily with individuals or families going through difficulties and looking to over come hardship and transform their lives. Growing up my love for this field came from my strong sense of empathy and desire to connect and understand the pain of others. As a child I experienced emotions at an intense level and was easily misunderstood . This created a passion within me to help others be understood and understand themselves and their emotions so that they can have the power to better their lives.

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.

Currently, you may feel emotionally stuck due to sadness, irritability, relationship-issues, anger, financial-loss, unresolved-trauma, loss of a loved one and/or anxiety. This may lead you into a whirl-wind of emotional instability within your mind that feels chaotic and uncontrollable. But know that you are not alone and there is hope. Hence, I will provide you with treatment focused on using evidence-based practices. I will engage you in creating a treatment plan that works for you! I will assist you in identifying your interest of focus (personal issues) and empower you to process and reach your goals in therapy.

In the midst of all the pressures, demands, threats and urges that we are subject to in these times, it is easy to feel lost and hopeless about the future. I am here to help you find old and new strengths, and develop cognitive and emotional tools, to draw meaning from all your suffering.

Are you having some concerns with your marriage or relationship? If your answer is yes, you might feel the need to discuss your relationship problems with friends or family members because it is normal to feel the need to vent your emotions, disappointments and frustrations with someone else besides your partner. However, it can be very costly to you for many reasons. First of all, friends and family cannot be very neutral. Second, your privacy can be compromised which you might regret later on.

Are you a new mom and feeling intense anxiety or sadness? Intense bursts of anger? Finding yourself crying often or always on the verge of tears? Feeling like you’re losing complete control of your mind and emotions? Have really distressing thoughts about yourself and/or your child that scare you? Afraid you're not bonding with baby? If this sounds similar to what you're experiencing right now during pregnancy or postpartum(even if it’s been 6mos+ since the birth), I’m here to tell you you’re not alone and it's NOT your fault. You don’t have to keep suffering and there is healing and relief with the right support.

Life can be challenging! Whether you are struggling with stress and worry, trying to break free from toxic relationships or habits, or just looking to nurture and care for yourself, let’s take on this journey together! I have nearly 15 years of experience in the mental health field working in various settings with various populations, including those struggling with severe and persistent mental health issues. My vast experience has created a solid foundation in helping individuals with the unique struggles they may face.

Often time, people begin psychotherapy as a result of feeling disconnected from themselves or the world. When overwhelmed by life, you may notice feeling drained, disconnected, dissatisfied with your relationships, and at times physically unwell. In therapy, I create a safe space to explore past, present, and future struggles and work towards goals in order to live a more insightful, balanced, fulfilled life.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, like you are losing control, becoming easily frustrated and moody or having difficulty relaxing or quieting your mind? Are you finding yourself feeling unsure of how to deal with the increased anxiety, uncertainty, and isolation? Are you having a difficult time adjusting to a new life transition (e.g. becoming a parent; starting college; changing job/losing your job; becoming ill)? I would like to help you to improve your mood, build new coping skills, discover meaningful life goals and gain confidence to improve many aspects of your life.

Ever since I was an adolescent, I knew that one of my life purposes & passion was to do something in the psychological realm. Making a positive impact in someone's life & helping them flourish into their best self is one of the most rewarding feelings. My own life path has been filled with challenges that I had to overcome from a young age & on my path of self healing, I realized that the therapeutic world was missing so much of what I needed & only a rare few "understood me." That is when I made the promise to myself to give to others what I witnessed was missing & to be open to sharing my own insight, education and research.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I recognize that life and relationships can prove to be challenging. I appreciate the courage it takes for one to share personal concerns and strive for life change, therefore I aim to provide a safe and respectful therapeutic environment. I strongly believe in the power of therapy as a means of improving the quality of ones' life through the following: developing greater insight and understanding of ones' concerns, exploring alternative perspectives, reduction of symptoms, adopting alternative coping strategies, improving self esteem, and strengthening communication skills.
