About

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate emotional challenges and improve their overall well-being. I offer a compassionate and supportive approach to help clients heal emotional pain, break negative patterns, and create more fulfilling and successful lives. In addition to evidence-based interventions, I incorporate holistic approaches to address the multifactorial nature of emotional difficulties. For more than 20 years, I served as a faculty member at the University of Miami School of Medicine and Jackson Health System, where I worked in a variety of roles, including Clinical Director of two outpatient clinics, Director of the Psychology Fellowship Program, and participation in multiple research projects. Clinically, I have extensive experience working with individuals affected by HIV, cancer, diabetes, transplants, and chronic pain. I have treated a broad range of clinical issues, including depression, anxiety, panic disorder, psychosis, PTSD, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, personality disorders, and co-occurring substance use issues. I am a certified EMDR therapist and have training in EFT (Levels 1 and 2) and in Clinical Hypnosis. I am also a Certified Gaja Ayurvedic Health Instructor and a Gaja Meditation Certified Instructor. Most recently, I completed Level 1 training toward certification as an Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner.
