I am originally from Illinois but licensed in Texas and have worked as a social worker in various settings for over 20 years. I am proficient in the Spanish language and have worked closely with Hispanic individuals and families so am knowledgeable with cultural beliefs and traditions. I have worked with youth and families in foster care and adoption, in schools, and with both youth and adults in medical facilities. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey and look forward to our time together.
