What past clients have to say

Hi, I'm Sayra.

A Miami-based therapist offering in-person and virtual therapy across Florida, including South Florida cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and surrounding areas. I provide individual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, divorce, relationship challenges, burnout, postpartum depression, parenting stress, and major life transitions.

I’ve been in the mental health field since 2007, beginning my career in New York City managing community mental health programs after earning my MSW from Barry University. Early in my work, I learned that people are far more resilient than they realize and often much harder on themselves than they need to be.

My own life experiences, including motherhood, single parenting, and navigating postpartum depression, deepened my understanding of how overwhelming and identity-shifting life transitions can be.

Today, I specialize in helping women and adults in Florida work through divorce recovery, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, burnout, and life transitions with a supportive, direct, and nonjudgmental approach. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real-life strategies with space for humor, because healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.

You deserve to be seen for who you’re becoming, not just what you’ve been through.

Healing from the comfort of your sanctuary.

I offer virtual therapy sessions that integrate into your lifestyle. Whether you’re in the middle of a busy workday or in your favorite corner at home, our sessions are designed to be a consistent anchor in your week.

How do virtual sessions work?

We use a HIPAA-compliant, secure video platform. You’ll receive a private link before each session. All you need is a quiet space and a reliable internet connection.

We require 24 hours notice for any rescheduling or cancellations to avoid a session fee, respecting the time carved out for your growth.

I maintain a limited number of slots for sliding scale clients. Please mention this during our initial consult if it’s a primary concern.
