Bilingual (English/Spanish) trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

For over twenty years, I have worked as a bilingual (English/Spanish) trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker, supporting adults, children, adolescents, and families from diverse backgrounds. My experience includes mental health clinics, hospitals, shelters, schools, child welfare agencies, and legal service organizations. Every interaction inspires me and deepens my respect for the extraordinary courage and resilience people show as they face, navigate, and overcome life’s challenges.

My expertise focuses on trauma, whether it results from childhood abuse or neglect, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, loss, grief, bereavement, immigration trauma, or acculturation challenges. I am also committed to helping adults as they work through relationship issues, workplace stress, complex family dynamics, and life changes.
