About My Clients

I have worked 6 years as a clinical social worker within the healthcare setting. I've provided support to individuals and families surrounding psychosocial issues including but not limited to managing postpartum depression, depression, anxiety, grief, domestic violence and coping with chronic health issues. I am bilingual and able to hold sessions in English, Spanish or "Spanglish."

My Background and Approach

I believe therapy is NOT a “cure.” It is a tool that provides individuals with the ability to begin their journey in achieving the life they desire. My approach to therapy emphasizes, a person-centered working alliance, inward self awareness, mindfulness, cultural sensitivity and exploration of self identity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am passionate about addressing stigmatization of mental health through trauma informed and traditional healing practices. I believe in the effectiveness of finding your purpose through the use of spiritual connectedness. As a part time dance instructor I enjoy dedicating time to support individuals in gaining self-confidence, exploring self-expression while addressing body image stigmas and building a sense of community. I believe every individual has the capacity to self actualize if given the proper tools and support. If you find yourself ready to begin this journey and/or contemplating what this can mean for you, reach out to me and lets explore together. With purpose, your life overflows with meaning.
