About me
I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English) licensed clinical social worker who works with individuals of all ages. I provide therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and other issues related to day-to-day life. I am trained in levels I & II of EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and really enjoy seeing the positive results in the populations I serve. I am empathetic and like to empower people to become the best version of themselves.
I have worked with both Spanish and English-speaking individuals. I have experience working with victims of crime, domestic abuse, and sexual assault as well as other trauma-related issues. I am trained in EMDR levels I &II and have 11 years of experience working with this modality.
As an immigrant myself I understand the barriers and difficulties that immigrants face that may lead to depression, anxiety, trauma as well as other issues. I am interested in working with immigrants of all ages who are struggling with these issues but is also interested in working with English-speaking individuals who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and other issues.
