I am a licensed clinical social worker who has worked with children, adolescents, and adults since 2010. I was born in Colombia, South America and consider myself bilingual (English and Spanish) and bicultural.
I am passionate about supporting clients in their healing process. I believe in the capacity that people have to change and heal. I am committed to empower my clients and offer them hope that things can go better. I like working collaboratively and help people identify and utilize their strengths and recognize their resiliency.
I have experience working with complex trauma including survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, human trafficking, and homelessness. I work with underrepresented populations, immigrants (first and second generation), people that live with the intersection of different identities, people that come from mixed races and backgrounds, and people of color.
The issues that I can offer support with are: trauma caused by large and small events, Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), feeling stuck, communication, self-esteem, experiences of racism and discrimination, relational boundaries, anxiety, persistent worry, depression, navigating difficult life transitions, and coping with loss.
I would like to work with you on your current concerns so you can get the relief you deserve and need, as fast as possible. No matter what your situation is, it does not have to stay that way.
