WELCOME!

Thank you for considering me to walk with you on your therapeutic journey.  I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and DBT Certified Clinical Social Worker (CCTP/C-DBT).  I integrate various modalities of treatment including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and am working on ADHD certification.  I am a person of bi-cultural/bi-ethnic Chicano/a/e heritage and it is important to me to provide culturally competent care. 

 I earned my Masters of Social Work from the University of Washington in 2006, and have been working in social services since 2001. I have experience working with people in different settings and levels of care including inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization, outpatient mental health and substance abuse counseling, complex case management, disease management, wellness health coaching, nursing home therapy, housing, in-home care, and residential treatment. I work effectively with people from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs across the lifespan through challenges big and small. I value your perspective and will meet you where you're at to guide you along the journey.  I would love to connect over the phone to discuss your unique situation to see if am a good fit for your needs.
