Helping Individuals, Couples, and High-Stress Professionals

Renew Hope and Restore Relationships

​

Life offers many gifts, but it can also present complex challenges that leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and in need of a second wind. Having a dedicated, compassionate space to talk can help you renew your perspective, repair emotional wounds, and restore a sense of purpose and well-being.

​

As the Founder and Clinical Director of A Second Wind Counseling, I bring over a decade of specialized clinical experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s heaviest seasons. As a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing therapy in both English and Spanish, my mission is to support you on your journey toward lasting healing, resilience, and personal growth.

​

Specialized Couples Therapy & Relationship Niche

One of my core clinical passions and primary niches is working with couples to restore broken connections and rebuild trust. I am actively working toward formal Certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—one of the most researched and effective approaches for marital and relationship distress. Whether you and your partner are navigating communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, infidelity, or major life transitions, I provide a structured, safe environment to help you break toxic relational cycles and rediscover emotional intimacy.

​

Specialized Trauma & Acute Care Background

My clinical foundation is deeply rooted in crisis intervention, trauma recovery, and acute care. Having provided psychological first aid to survivors in the wake of the 2016 Pulse tragedy—for which I received the Governor’s Medal of Unity—and served as a mental health therapist at ORMC's Level I Trauma Center, I have a deep understanding of human resilience under extreme stress.

I specialize in supporting healthcare workers, first responders, corporate leaders, and high-stress professionals facing corporate burnout, secondary trauma, and high-functioning anxiety. I offer a safe, confidential environment to process the weight of demanding roles, recover from emotional exhaustion, and rediscover personal strength.

​

Therapeutic Approach & Core Services

Based at our Downtown Kissimmee office—and available via telehealth across Florida—I customize therapy using proven, evidence-based modalities:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) & Couples Counseling: Advanced relationship therapy focusing on emotional bonding, attachment repair, and conflict resolution (currently pursuing advanced EFT Certification).

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Evidence-based trauma therapy to help resolve PTSD, distressing memories, and unprocessed trauma.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Coaching: Practical strategies to break negative thought patterns and manage depression, anxiety, and grief.

• Faith-Integrated Christian Counseling: For clients seeking care rooted in a Biblical worldview, I offer thoughtful, faith-based integration upon request.

​

In addition to my direct clinical work, I am proud to serve as a Qualified Supervisor for Registered Mental Health Counseling Interns in Florida, equipping the next generation of compassionate clinicians. If you are interested in supervision, please email me at info@asecondw.com
