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 am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, (LCSW) with extensive experience working with individuals, children, adolescents and families. I am most passionate about working with women who have struggled with Perinatal Mood Disorders and Postpartum concerns- which may also include Depression, Anxiety and OCD.

​

After completing my Master's Degree at the University of Houston in Texas, I have provided support and care for women and families and children in various treatment settings, including Catholic Charities- Teen Mom Parenting Program, Outpatient substance abuse treatment facilities,  local Emergency Departments, Pediatric Social Work and Private Practice.

​

Our first session is a full hour which will provide time for us to get to know each other; you will also have the opportunity to speak openly and freely about any of your concerns, and I will answer any questions you may have about the process.  My goal is that you will leave the first session hopeful about the future and ready to do the work.

​

It takes courage to reach out and accept help, I look forward to walking with you along your journey.

I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from University of Houston, Texas.  I am a member of Postpartum Support International (PSI) and National Association of Social Work (NASW).  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.

Therapy can provide you with support, encouragement, empowerment and healing as life can often be hard and stressful. However, I understand how the process of going to therapy can seem difficult and intimidating. That is why I strive to provide an environment that is compassionate, affirming, genuine, and supportive. I also understand how each person is unique and am mindful of how their environment, family, gender, culture, religion, sexual orientation, and other factors have an impact on us all. 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 with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults experiencing mood disorders, trauma, adjustment issues, women's issues, and domestic violence. I also passionate about working with women struggling with Perinatal Mood Disorders and Postpartum concerns. I strive to provide an inclusive and affirming environment to all.

 

I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from the Jane Addams School of Social Work UIC in Chicago, IL. I have provided counseling and worked in the foster care system, community mental health, and domestic violence nonprofit agency.
