Bio

​

Life can be filled with stress, hurt and disappointment.  I firmly believe, through my own professional and personal experiences that counseling can be a therapeutic, calming and worthwhile experience.  My technique includes emphasizing strengths, supporting personal growth and prioritizing self-determination.

​

I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from University of Houston, Texas.  I am a member of Postpartum Support International (PSI), National Association of Social Work (NASW), and the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). I grew up in Los Angeles, California and now live in Illinois with my husband and three children.  In my free time I enjoy yoga, reading, museums in the city and horror films.

Bio

​

Therapy can provide you with support, encouragement, empowerment and healing as life can often be hard and stressful.  I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship is very important in the healing process. My goal is to work collaboratively with each individual, focusing on strength building and empowerment. I also try to add some humor into the sessions as laughter can minimize stress and aid in the healing process.

​

I am a bi-cultural, bilingual (Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 20 years of experience working in the mental health field.  I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from the Jane Addams School of Social Work UIC in Chicago, IL.  I am a member of Postpartum Support International (PSI), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing International Association (EMDRIA). I have provided counseling and worked in the foster care system, community mental health, and domestic violence nonprofit agency. I love spending time with my family, reading, learning new things, yoga, coffee, and watching movies.
