I am a bilingual Spanish speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. My counseling style is caring, interactive. and reflective. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. It takes courage to seek help in obtaining a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. Uniquely, I use Cinematherapy as a form of psychoeducation and to promote a parallel process which fosters personal growth with a bonus of entertainment.
Throughout my career I have had the pleasure of supporting individuals and families with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, and grief and loss. Working in education I have supported special education needs and supporting the IEP and 504 process. I use models including CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Relaxation/Mindfulness.
Everyone’s life comes with its own set of challenges. My approach to treatment reflects that your needs. It’s my goal to build a partnership and utilize your strengths while teaching skills you may need to make life more manageable. I look forward to working with you!
