My heritage includes a multi-diverse ancestry that is full of connections of various cultures. I grew up in New York, my 1st hometown, that prepared me to adjust to live in my 2nd hometown in Tampa, Florida. Life’s gains and losses has influenced my work in many ways. I can recognize the challenges that people face when being open to seeking professional care. Professional, self-driven and devoted describes my care-approach style when supporting or guiding people in their healing process. I believe that counseling and therapy is a collaborative partnership where the goals are for the clients to understand their needs while channeling on their strengths to make changes.
