Great to meet you!

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) therapist and licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, South Carolina, Minnesota, and Florida. I love working with people from diverse backgrounds, and for that reason, I returned to graduate school after retiring as a teacher and school administrator. I have worked with teens in area schools and also with adult clients in the Latino community, those struggling with life transitions and caretaking of loved ones. I am committed to providing you with support, compassion, and a safe space to be seen and heard.

Soy terapeuta bilingüe (español/inglés) y trabajadora social clínica licenciada en Carolina del Norte, Carolina del Sur, Minnesota y Florida. Me encanta trabajar con personas de diversos orígenes y, por esa razón, regresé a la escuela de posgrado después de jubilarme como maestra y administradora escolar. He trabajado con adolescentes en escuelas de la zona y también con clientes adultos en la comunidad latina y los que cuidan de sus familiares. Estoy comprometida a brindarte apoyo, compasión y un espacio seguro donde puedas ser visto y escuchado.

My approach to therapy

I recognize that each human being has special gifts and qualities. I believe that every person has the ability to use his/her strengths to create a life they want to live. I am here for you -- not to judge, only to show you the warmth and compassion you deserve. I speak Spanish fairly fluently and we can have sessions in English, Spanish, or Spanglish. I also like to laugh, so hopefully we can also have some fun.

Reconozco que cada ser humano tiene dones y cualidades especiales. Creo que cada persona tiene la capacidad de usar sus fortalezas para crear la vida que desea vivir. Estoy aquí para ti — no para juzgar, solo para mostrarte la calidez y compasión que mereces. Hablo español con bastante fluidez y podemos tener sesiones en inglés, español o spanglish. También me gusta reír, así que con suerte también podremos divertirnos.

What you can expect from me

The first session is totally about getting to know each other. I will provide a safe space for you to share your immediate concerns and begin to feel seen, heard, and secure. I want to hear YOUR story. You are unique and special. The most important aspect for me is that you feel free to be you ! My goal is to walk by your side.

La primera sesión se trata completamente de conocernos. Te proporcionaré un espacio seguro para que compartas tus preocupaciones inmediatas y comiences a sentirte vista, escuchada y segura. Quiero escuchar TU historia. Eres única y especial. ¡Lo más importante para mí es que te sientas libre de ser tú misma! Mi objetivo es caminar a tu lado.
