About me
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience. I graduated from University of Las Vegas, NV where I have resided since 2007. As a Hispanic and bilingual clinician, I have extensive experience working with the Hispanic community; however, I have worked with clients of diverse backgrounds helping them overcome anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and grief. I provide my clients with a safe and open space, where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I utilize a variety of approaches including CBT, Interpersonal, Client Centered, Psychoeducational, and Family Systems. However, I believe that the most important part is being able to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship, based on respect, empathy, and self-determination; I am here to help you find the answers within yourself, and reach the goals that you define.
