About me
I am licensed Doctoral Level Psychologist in Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Iowa with 18 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, anger management, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & depression. I also have experience in the process of work in coping with life changes. I believe that there are no accidents in life, and that adversity aids in molding us for the best by eliciting our strengths. It takes courage to open up and communicate with transparency for a journey of a better life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to walk with you in this short time and gift we call life.
