Bienvenidos! Welcome to Puentes de Resiliencia! Puentes de Resiliencia was created with the premise of creating therapy services with a cultural perspective in mind. We all navigate healing differently, but one thing that stays consistent is the notion that we do not have to endure it alone. Healing with community in mind is a strength based concept that further encourages the notion that as a community, we can transform and create bridges for success, bridges for healing, and bridges for resilience. As your therapist, I strive to provide a safe space for authenticity to ensure an open space for expression and healing. I am bilingual/ Latina licensed clinical social worker. Born and raised in Chicago, mental health was a new concept for me prior to my own experiences with mental health. Now having been in practice for 8 plus years, I am eager to get to know others, explore challenges, and identify positive coping techniques for healing. Looking forward to meeting you soon!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help get to know you and your overall experience. The hope for initial session is to start building a safe space for a continued supportive and trauma informed environment.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with members of the BIPOC community for the past 8 years, I've developed an approach that helps support clients as we work as a team to identify challenges and then identify key skills to help navigate them more efficiently.
