I have been in my own practice for 12 years. I have provided support for clients suffering from Grief, trauma, sexual abuse and substance abuse. I have supported many victims of domestic abuse. My internship was supporting Spanish-speaking women struggling with concerns surrounding abuse. Prior to opening my own practice, I worked for the foster care system. I also ran a satellite office for the Josselyn Center. I am presently a clinical supervisor for Mending Minds Behavioral Health. I utilize many different modalities to accommodate the people I serve. I am trained in EMDR ( for those suffering from PTSD), DBT and CBT therapies. I utilize an eclectic and integrative approach to support individuals on their path to recovery and discovery. Everybody is unique with regard to their mental health and their discovery journey. I received my Master's degree from National Louis University. I worked in substance abuse facilities and spend 6 years working in Foster care. I have served many of the Spanish-speaking population. In tandem with my private practice, I am currently the Clinical supervisor for Mending Minds Behavioral Health in Wisconsin. I hope you give me the opportunity to encourage your growth. I take what I do very seriously.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel I offer objectivity and empathy. I understand that it is often difficult for people to engage in therapy and I am sympathetic to the fact that therapy can be " hard " for some people. I am sympathetic to individual concerns. I provide services in a manner that the client can understand. I am a first-generation American which enables me to understand the challenges of people who are from other cultural backgrounds. I work with people who come from traditional backgrounds as well as support those with progressive beliefs. I am broad-minded and work with various beliefs and thinking. I also believe that having strong intuition supports positive therapeutic outcomes. Feel free to explore my website. http://www.ascentcounselingservices.org/
