(she/her)
I am a licensed clinical social worker who’s worked with diverse populations seeking to feel empowered through education and learning self-advocacy. I have a diverse background with the time in clinical experience and instilled education from different institutions. I prefer to work with patients who want to gain self-awareness and change to live a healthier life. I have worked with those who have a history of domestic violence, trauma, past persecution and trying to establish a safe home. Patients that need counseling in this country to stay legally. Patient’s who have children with mental health disorders and need to be here to care for them. Patients that have a need for support/resources; along with instilling coping skills to manage assimilation stressors, mental health needs and education on other related areas. I want to work with people that want to be their “best self”.
