I first started as a psychologist in Cuba and worked specifically with children and adults predominantly family dysfunctions and behavioral problems.
I have been working in the mental health field for more than 20 years and I think there has been an awakening regarding mental health issues in the past few years. That being said, awareness is key in the process of recovery. I have seen the growth in clients when they come to therapy eager to better themselves. I make my sessions client oriented; I always tell my clients that therapy is only one part of the healing process, but essentially the effort has to come from within. As long as you recognize there is time for a change, you will be guided into recovery.

I provide counseling to children, adolescents, adults, families and couples.
Often, looking for a counselor and attending therapy require great strength and courage. Stigmatization around mental health disorders and lack of health insurance are some of the barriers many people must overcome before sitting in the counseling session. As a Counselor, I want to do everything possible to facilitate that process. I want to offer nothing different from what I would like to receive as a client: a safe, honest, and culturally-sensitive environment in which new paths to achieve a more fulfilling life can be discovered.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results.
