Great to meet you!

I have over 10 years of social work experience and have worked with individuals from various backgrounds, from youth to the elderly. I have been a medical social worker for the larger part of my career, with an emphasis on geriatrics, dialysis, kidney disease, and transplant. I am passionate about social justice and equity issues and working with underrepresented and minority groups. Our culture can be a big part of who we are and how we identify, and I am very proud of my Hispanic heritage.

My approach to therapy

I love working with those who consider themselves part of "geek" culture. I enjoy bringing these pop culture elements into my therapy style when appropriate. There is no one approach I take with every person, I like to tailor treatment so that it is fun and engaging for YOU! I take different pieces from different therapy approaches, as we talk down the road to your journey of self-discovery and growth. Together, we decide what will work best for you.

What you can expect from me

I hope you get to learn more about yourself and can take steps toward living the life you really want and becoming the person you really want to be. I hope you leave the session with a feeling of being closer to that ultimate goal because you feel like you have a trusted person at your side.
