I am a Bi-lingual and Bi-cultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ psychotherapist with twenty three years of Clinical, Case-management and Social services experience in a variety of systems and with a variety of client populations. I am of Latino heritage and was raised and lived in Bridgeport Connecticut for many years. I am currently living in Miami Florida. I worked in the Miami Dade Public Schools as a clinician / social worker for 10 years. My most recent experience is working at a large primary care group practice where I founded a grassroots behavioral health care program that I managed and was the primary mental health clinician for. I also have a private therapeutic practice . I provide assessment and individual, couples, and family therapy for a variety of client concerns ranging from depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, Panic/anxiety/ phobias/obsessive compulsive issues, couples relationship issues, as well as tobacco cessation, alcohol and other licit and illicit substance abuse treatment.
My treatment approach revolved around a full and thorough initial assessment, rapport building and the development of a good working therapeutic alliance . I also have a strong underpinning in Cognitive Behavioral therapy for short term approaches and psycho-dynamic therapies for a longer term approach.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
