About Enid
As an EMDR therapist, I specialize in helping individuals to unlock their natural ability to heal. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, I facilitate a gentle yet powerful process that it's not about erasing the past, but allowing you to finally reclaim your present and future.
My clinical experience includes over 19 years working across short and long-term treatment, intensive in-home counseling, telehealth, psychiatric hospitals, law enforcement, community-based settings, military and multicultural communities. I earned a bachelor's in Social Work from Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico and a master's in both Mental Health Counseling and Business Administration from the University of Phoenix.
We all go through life changes and challenges — bright days and dark days, ups and downs. I understand that taking the first step toward healing can be daunting, but it's a step worth taking. Together, we'll create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express your deepest emotions and confront your innermost fears. By working collaboratively, we'll unlock the strength and resilience that lies within you, allowing you to rewrite your story and pave a path toward lasting peace and fulfillment. You deserve to live a life free from the shadows of trauma and anxiety. It's time to embrace a future filled with hope, purpose, and joy. Schedule a session today, and let's walk the path of healing together.

"Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the weight of past trauma, or suffocated by the grip of anxiety, or dulled by the clutches of brain fog? You're not alone. My name is Enid, and I'm here to guide you on a journey of healing, growth, and resilience, where wounds transform into wisdom."

What inspires you?
I am inspired by being part of a person's transformation, helping them find their way of living to the fullest.
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
The initial visit is a period to learn about your motivations to seek help and current challenges, what things you would like to work on through counseling, and get an idea of how to proceed.
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
Initiate the basis to establish a therapeutic relationship developing open communication as a team.

Perseverance is my best quality. Just because something doesn't work out on the first try doesn't mean I'll never be able to do it.
