Great to meet you!

My experience has allowed me to support hundreds of families in divorce. I am passionate about assisting clients through a divorce with the most negligible adverse impact. I have 20 years of experience as a social worker. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. In my experience, I have seen how divorce can impact the divorcing couple and the children (if applicable). I have expertise in working with families who have children with special needs.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is empathetic, supportive, and solution-focused. I provide parenting support for those who have children. I used a play-based approach for youth. With teens, I use technology and methods to maintain engagement in therapy.

What you can expect from me

Clients will walk away feeling like they have tools that they can use in their life. They will feel empowered and ready to apply the skills they are learning.
