As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice is deeply rooted in understanding diverse experiences, with specialized expertise in addressing stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and navigating significant life transitions.
I offer a compassionate, culturally responsive approach that honors each person's unique journey. My work focuses on helping clients develop meaningful strategies for personal growth, emotional resilience, and healing. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, workplace challenges, relationship issues, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to providing supportive, personalized guidance.
My background allows me to work effectively with a wide range of individuals, including young adults, veterans, first responders, and those experiencing multicultural or cross-cultural challenges. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, which enables me to connect with and support a broader community.
I believe in creating a collaborative, affirming therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences, develop stronger coping skills, and move toward your personal goals with confidence and clarity.

I don't like typing on these mobile keyboards, so I'm keeping my review short. I've had a few sessions with Richard now, and so far he's one of the best therapist's I've had. I feel a connection with him. My hope is that we can work through my life issues, dig deeper into my past and find the source of my behaviors, and get some tools that can help me heal those past traumas and grow. When I talk to Richard, I feel like I'm talking to a friend.
