About My Clients
If you’re a parent, you want your child to thrive in school. With my background as a school social worker, I help families navigate educational systems, advocate for needs, and build plans that support academic success and emotional well-being for ages 8–18. If you’re a college student, you may feel stressed balancing coursework, independence, and identity. I provide tools to strengthen executive functioning, manage transitions, and cope with the pressures of higher education.
My Background and Approach
I’m a bilingual LCSW and PhD candidate with over a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families in the Chicagoland area. My background spans school social work, higher education teaching, and community advocacy, all grounded in culturally responsive, trauma‑informed practice. My approach is eclectic and client‑centered—I tailor therapy to your needs using modalities such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic approaches, and play therapy. I also integrate humanistic, feminist, and existential perspectives to honor identity, context, and lived experience. Whether you’re navigating stress, trauma, transitions, or relationship challenges, I offer evidence‑based, compassionate support designed to empower your healing and growth.
