Welcome to your healing journey,

My name is Mercedes, I am a Caribbean American Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Tampa, Florida. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood or unheard in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely seen. Therapy with me is collaborative, client-centered, and culturally responsive, not rigid or “textbook”, because your experiences and identity matter.

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life adjustments, family challenges, and identity-related concerns. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on building self-awareness, strengthening boundaries, and developing practical tools that support lasting change. You deserve care that honors your story, your culture, and your growth, and I’d be honored to support you on that journey.

Let's Elevate Together 💜

Dating, maintaining healthy relationships, and keeping it spicy in the bedroom can be challenging and feel overwhelming. Whether you are single or in a relationship, couple’s therapy can help.

My work with Couples focuses on issues of communication, intimacy, infidelity, trust and sexual difficulties. If you are single, and are looking to work through past or prospective relationships, we can work on helping identify the factors getting in the way of finding, or maintaining healthy relationships.

Experiencing a lack of sexual fulfillment during any stage your life can feel isolating, challenging and overwhelming. Whether you are single, dating, in an open relationship, or in a committed relationship. When “sex isn’t working”, it feels uncomfortable and frustrating, and can make you feel like there is something wrong with you.

We can work together in Sex Therapy, as an Individual or as a Couple to help you achieve the positive sex goals you want and deserve. I'm an English/Spanish speaking Psychotherapist. I specialize in Individuals, Couples and Sex Therapy. I would like to help you feel better and have success in all areas of your life. Give me a call for a free consultation.

I am a compassionate, collaborative therapist who values the whole person. I work from a strengths-based perspective and believe that people have the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change when provided with a safe and supportive environment. I honor each client’s lived experiences, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. My role is to meet you where you are, help you explore what’s important to you, and support you in developing the tools and insight you need for lasting change.

Wendy believes it takes a great amount of strength and vulnerability for people of any age to reach out to a therapist, and doesn't take that lightly. For this reason, she believes that a warm, open-minded, client-centered, and non-judgmental environment is essential in beginning to heal and growing to be the best version of yourself.

At an early age I spent hours listening to people talk about the transitions, traumas, and troubles in their life as I played just out of ear’s reach (or so they thought). These special moments ignited a passion for people and what happens when human beings start being human.

Hi there! I’m a therapist who’s passionate about helping clients heal from their past and build a life where they can truly thrive. I especially enjoy working with women and couples, creating a safe and supportive space for growth. I’m trained in EMDR for trauma, PREPARE/ENRICH for couples, and Internal Family Systems. I’m also expanding my skills with training in Narcissistic Abuse Treatment.
