Biography
I believe that finding the right therapist is an incredibly important step in developing a healthy collaborative client-therapist relationship and to set the client up for success. I believe it is important that you find a therapist that you feel comfortable with and that is right for you, so the following is a little bit of information about me. It would be an honor and a privilege for me to be your therapist if I am the right fit for your needs:
I received a bachelor's and master’s degree in social work from Aurora University in Aurora, Illinois. I have years of experience in the medical and behavioral health field and in mental health crisis intervention, having worked as an emergency department social worker. I also worked in a public library as the in-house social worker building relationships with local agencies and the community and served as a liaison for a local shelter.
I consider myself multi-cultural and I am fluent in Spanish. I enjoy learning about other cultures and languages. I also enjoy listening to people’s stories and different experiences.
If you are going through a period of transition, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, hopeless, having difficulty with life changes, survived traumatic experiences or experiencing loss, then therapy is an available tool that can be helpful in this transition and in coping with these feelings and emotions.
My goal is to offer a safe place for therapy where clients feel welcomed and comfortable. I like to incorporate humor and lighthearted conversations in therapy. I am a compassionate therapist. I believe therapy is a team effort. I use a combination of client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and incorporate mindfulness-based therapy. It is my goal that my clients feel we are a team and that together we can navigate through the emotions and feelings that my client would like to explore. I strive to make my clients feel empowered and confident to make the changes they feel comfortable with and move forward through struggles and life changes.
