Meet Me



 As a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker, fluent in both Spanish and English, I bring a unique set of skills and experiences to my role. I earned my training from the prestigious University of Chicago, where I honed my expertise in the field of mental health.
I began my career at the Barr-Harris Children's Grief Center in Chicago, dedicated to providing compassionate and specialized care to children facing the profound challenges of grief. Witnessing their resilience and healing process has strengthened my commitment to supporting individuals in their journey towards emotional well-being.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with diverse populations, fostering a deep appreciation for the importance of cultural humility and multicultural counseling. By embracing cultural diversity, I strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for all clients.

I welcome and work with clients of all ages, races, genders, cultural and religious backgrounds
