I am a Bilingual (Spanish) Clinical Social Worker. I am experienced in working with a variety of issues including immigrant and minority issues, trauma, brain injury, PTSD, abuse, infertility, chronic medical illness, attachment, grief and loss, adoption, ADHD, anxiety, depression and coping with divorce and co-parenting. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago. I am EMDR trained and have worked extensively with those who have lived with chronic trauma experiences. I have lived in Bolivia, Guatemala and Spain. I use a variety of interventions, including art and drawing, to spur the introspection process on the path to healing. I strongly recommend combining a mind and body approach to help you connect with and reveal your true inner self.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, I hope to explore some of your story and what you have been struggling with. I will allow you to set your pace and focus. My goal is for you to experience a safe and accepting space for comfortable self expression and emotional vulnerability when you are ready.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Although I grew up in a small town of approximately 3,000 in rural Wisconsin, I was blessed with the opportunities of living in Bolivia, Guatemala and Spain, and have spoken Spanish at home for more than half of my life. My friends and family hail from countries around the world and my celebratory events often resemble the United Nations. I am immensely grateful for this diverse reality which has given me a profound perspective of humankind and the world we live in. It is from these global relationships and their stories that I have been able to develop my strong trauma-focused work.
