Great to meet you!

With over 25 years of experience as a social worker, I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder and Clinical Director of the Center for Safer Communities.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, domestic and interpersonal violence, parenting and co-parenting, emotional regulation, and behavioral change.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and strengths-based, incorporating CBT, DBT, and EMDR based on each client’s individual needs.

What you can expect from me

My goal is not to judge where you have been, but to help you understand your experiences, recognize patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life and relationships.
