Meet Our Staff

My desire as a bilingual licensed counselor is to help individuals with their social-emotional issues and help them find themselves in who they are and what they want to accomplish in life. I believe that my experience has helped me prepare for various situations dealing with children, adolescents and adults of diverse cultures.

I received my Master of Education in Counseling from Saint Xavier University and have been in the field since 2009. My areas of specialty are working with individuals whom experienced anxiety, depression, anger issues, behavioral problems, emotional deregulation, ADHD, self-esteem issues, socialization issues, crisis, grief, substance abuse, trauma and life transitions.  

Mi deseo como consejera licensiada es ayudar a las personas con sus problemas socio-emocionales y ayudarles a encontrarse en quiénes son y lo que quieren lograr en la vida. 

Recibí mi Maestría de Educación en Consejería de la Universidad Saint Xavier y he estado en el campo desde 2009. Mis áreas de especialidad son trabajar con personas que tienen ansiedad, depresión, problemas de ira, problemas de comportamiento, desregulación emocional, ADHD, problemas de autoestima, problemas de socialización, crisis, duelo, abuso de sustancias, trauma y transiciones de la vida.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of professional experience staged in the non-for-profit and private sectors. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from University of Illinois at Chicago in 2006, and several years later in 2011, I was able to graduate from Dominican University with a Master’s degree in Social Work. I currently hold a Type 73 Certification and have been practicing for several years. I am able to provide treatment in Spanish or English. 

Throughout my extensive career, I have worked with individuals, families, and couples. I have learned the impact of practicing various intervention techniques including effective listening skills which I personally have observed to be meaningful in developing a strong client-provider relationship. In past treatments, I have successfully incorporated the following treatment approaches: Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing and Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing

As a multicultural bilingual therapist, I believe I have developed in-depth knowledge in effectively working with people from different backgrounds. I have experience in working with diverse professional teams and have treated a diverse group of individuals. My main goal is to help my clients find relief, establish a healthy life balance, develop strength, and help them develop coping skills they can practice on their own when necessary. I take pride in knowing I am making a positive difference in people’s lives.
