Thank you for looking at my profile! I have always had a passion to help and serve others! I am passionate about counseling others to help each of my clients achieve their maximum potential. My sessions are focused on the clients’ needs. I have experience with immigrants from Central America, homeless/women, children, adolescentes, pregnant mothers and other diverse populations. My theoretical approaches are Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential, solution-focused, and client-centered therapy.
I graduated from the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology in 2006 and the University of Phoenix in Puerto Rico with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling in 2014. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
