I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist with over 8 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families in community mental health and child welfare settings. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Bradley University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and informed by evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).
I support clients in clarifying goals, processing lived experiences with care and structure, and strengthening emotional connection in their relationships. I am committed to empowering my community and offering a culturally responsive space where clients feel seen, respected, and supported in their healing process.
Mi objetivo es ofrecer un espacio seguro donde te sientas escuchado/a, respetado/a y acompañado/a en tu proceso.
