My goal is to provide a comfortable environment to help people "Say Everything". My special talent is helping people talk freely. I encourage humor and sometimes even fun: it can make the seemingly intolerable more easily managed. I have a genuine respect for my patients. This work is an honor. My training as a psychotherapist began as a child, listening as my parents and their friends talked about jobs; marriage, children, aging parents, etc. This has led to a lifelong fascination with human relationships and the workings of individual minds and hearts. Home visits available when necessary.

I also work with autistic children and their families conducting ABA therapy .
With more than 30 years of experience, I have reached to the conclusion that neither college nor any information can give us everything that we need to be a good therapist, because it is something that goes beyond technical expertise. It's about living. It's about the consistency between who I am and what I do. It's about my own personal and spiritual growth, my world vision, my social roles, and the knowledge gained in both my personal and professional experience. It's about be an authentic human being connected with the person who is looking for help.

I believe that the family is the primary context, the "matrix of identity" where we develop ourselves as we interact with spouses, parents, children, and other family members who are in constant transformation, adapting to an ever-changing social environment.
My approach to therapy is based on the belief that behaviors are a function of our relations with others. Thus, a person's environment and history influences one's sense of self and the way we express ourselves as part of a group and as individuals. I try to learn from my client's experiences to develop a better understanding of who they are, how they developed their sense of self, their worldview, and behavior.

You may be here because you’re feeling down, stuck, or lost. Maybe you're trapped in a web of worry, struggling with irritability or anger, or feeling depressed or numb. Whether you’ve faced a life-changing event or you're struggling with daily stresses that pile up, I want you to know that you’re not alone. You’re in the right place, and therapy can help. I welcome adults, teens, children, and families for therapy in my office in South Miami. For adults, I also offer online therapy (you may have heard the term "teletherapy") using video conference, so if you live elsewhere in Florida or have a busy schedule, help is still in reach.

My background with clients includes working with children and adults with past traumas, problem sexual behavior in children, generalized depression and anxiety, emotional dysfunction, behavior concerns and impulse control in children.
Gravitating through the world can be hard even if we feel things are going well. The emotional responses that happen when we begin to feel out of control can be overwhelming, leading to decisions that may not be safe or helpful. Whether you are finding ways to recover from a past trauma, or find that your depression or anxiety is taking over your day, know that you are not alone. Acknowledging that the next step to healing may require some outside guidance will bring you closer towards breaking down the walls of your emotions. I believe building a therapeutic alliance with the client is crucial in order to begin the healing process.

During the 5+ years as a therapist I have specialized in working with adolescents and young adults in the areas of Depression, Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Self-esteem, GAD, OCD, PTSD, Parent-Child Interaction, ADHD, and Bipolar Disorder.
I believe that one of the bravest and scariest things to do is reach out for help. Many people see therapy as a stigmatize thing for only those that are in desperate cry for help and have no other choice. I can promise you that this is far from what therapy really is. Therapy is about having a safe place to open up and not be judged. It is a place to feel like FINALLY someone understands you and relates to your problems. I want to help you achieve whatever life changes you are looking for while in turn providing the most real and authentic experience.

I work with children and adolescents with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and oppositional defiant/ behavioral issues.
We can have difficulties after experiencing a traumatic event. At times, we can feel numb, anxious, depressed or unable to regulate our emotions while navigating through life. For parents, it can be overwhelming for children dealing with behavioral issues and/or emotional problems. You are not alone! Here at Helping Hands, clients experience trauma healing through the word of God. I empower my clients by navigating them through their past traumas and help my clients identify how these traumas are still showing up in their life. During this process, I guide my clients to receive healing through Christ Jesus.
