Introduction

I'm a social worker who brings my own lived experience as a first-generation Latinx woman and career mom to my work with clients. I understand the weight of balancing multiple identities and responsibilities, and I'm passionate about meeting people where they are with culturally responsive, strength-based care. I work with teenagers, young adults, adults, and elders navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. My therapeutic toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and music therapy—approaches I tailor to each person's unique needs and background. I also integrate a nutrition-focused lens into our work, recognizing how our whole selves matter in healing. I provide telehealth sessions and currently accept most major Illinois insurance plans, including Medicaid. I'm accepting new clients and would welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey toward greater peace and resilience.
