I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than eight years of experience in healthcare and a strong background in psychiatric services. I began my medical career in Cuba, where I earned my medical degree from the University of Medical Sciences of Havana “Calixto García.” After moving to the United States, I earned my nursing degree and later completed a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in family practice.
Throughout my career, I have worked in psychiatric care, women’s health, transitional care, pain management, and primary care. I support adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. I am committed to helping each client feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care.
I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
Call me Ben! I've been in private practice as an LCSW for 6+ years and the mental health field at-large for close to a decade. I live in Asheville, North Carolina with my wife and our two cats. I love to go hiking and kayaking, I own a record store where I also work, and love a good gaming session with my friends.
I am a South Florida-based licensed psychologist that would like to provide you with a safe, compassionate, and therapeutic environment where you can thrive. I can provide therapy in both English and Spanish and have years of experience working with anxiety, depression, adjustment, mood instability, life transitions, and coming of age.
I work with adults who may feel stuck in patterns that are affecting their relationships, recovery, self-esteem, or overall quality of life. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing co-occurring substance use and eating disorders, as well as mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Many of the people I work with have spent years using unhealthy behaviors to cope with difficult emotions, trauma, perfectionism, or painful beliefs about themselves. You may understand intellectually that something needs to change but feel unsure how to actually break those patterns. My goal is to help you understand where these patterns come from, develop healthier ways of coping, and begin creating a life that feels more aligned with who you want to be.
In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, live music, thrifting, cuddling my animals, reading, and outdoor activities.
As a licensed psychotherapist, I believe that mental health is essential for maintaining happiness, well-being, and a sense of security. While it may seem counterintuitive, seeking help is a courageous act, and showing vulnerability is a true sign of strength, not weakness.

Everyone will receive an honest, professional and knowledgeable therapist. You can be assured that we are here to guide you through this difficult process.
