About

Hola! I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking licensed psychologist in the state of Florida. My journey of assessing diverse individuals for accurate diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations began well before licensure. Especially, I strive to break mental health stigma in neurodivergent communities by providing comprehensive and culturally-informed psychological evaluations.

Education & Licensure
PhD in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University; Bachelors in Psychology and Criminal Justice from University of New Haven
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

As a neurodivergent clinician myself, it has become my mission to provide accessible and neurodiversity affirming mental health services to those who seek or need them. Thus, I strongly believe in the work we do here at Prosper Health.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I know how hard it can be to lead a neurodivergent life in a neurotypical world. Therefore, I am passionate about helping people better understand how their brains process information and learn to work with their differences, instead of against them.
