I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida practicing as a counselor in the greater Miami-Dade area. I also have an established career as a counselor in Dubai and the Cayman Islands and continue to see clients via HIPPA-regulated video conferencing as a Board Certified Tele-Mental Health Provider (BC-TMH). I have practiced as a counselor for 16 years nationally and internationally; in government, private practice, and school settings. My approach to helping is by providing an empathetic, non-judgmental and safe environment for clients to heal and become resilient through the therapeutic process. This resilience-based, client-centered approach to therapy allows me to empower clients to re-claim the inherent strength that lies within us all. I also aim to provide affordable quality mental health support so that no individual or family suffers due to lack of access to such help. My greatest strength when delivering interventions is my multicultural counseling experience. I am especially empathic to cultural dynamics in the context of mental health issues amongst clients. Through close collaboration with the client, I support them in the process of change and aid with improving their overall satisfaction with life. Additionally, my certification in Dialectical Behavior Therapy has resulted in my keen ability to teach mindfulness, relaxation, and distress tolerance techniques that provide clients with the skills necessary to navigate challenging life events. I am also an active member of the American Counseling Association, American Psychological Association, and American Mental Health Counseling Association.
