Our Team

I hold a Doctorate Degree in Counselor Education and Supervision and I am a licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I am a certified Integrative Mental Health Professional and a certified Mental Health and Nutritional Clinical Specialist.  In addition, I am certified in neuropsychotherapy, and Trauma Therapy. 

 

I have extensive professional experience using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with children & adults with concerns including relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, autism, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, & parent coaching. I worked in residential, hospitals, private practice, & in-house counseling. I facilitated group & individual supervision, parenting education, couples, groups, family, & substance use therapy.

​

I work with culturally diverse clients using neuroscience, nourishment, music, art, role-play and play therapy. I have an integrated style of counseling which allows me to help clients receive individualized treatment. Using this approach accommodates each client’s learning style and perceptions as they go through their process at their own capacity. 

​

I truly believe that everything in life that happens is there for a purpose which should not be thought of as a mistake, but as an experience that will bring wisdom, strength, and growth as an individual.

As a bilingual Spanish-speaking mental health professional, I am dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate challenges and life stressors. I have my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northeastern Illinois University.

 

My clinical experiences include community mental health, psychosocial rehabilitation programs, group psychotherapy, and school settings. I have experience supporting individuals with OCD, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationships, and bipolar disorder. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), CBT, and Person-Centered modalities to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs.

 

I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive space that encourages holistic healing and personal growth. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship and providing culturally responsive care can inspire a more harmonious and fulfilling life. With empathy and commitment, I encourage clients to express their emotions authentically as we work together to overcome challenges, build resilience, and discover inner strengths.

I am a mental health professional with extensive experience working with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and families facing mental health, addiction, and developmental challenges. I am a Certified Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Life Coaching, Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and Time Techniques™. These diverse credentials allow me to integrate a variety of therapeutic tools and holistic strategies to support clients in overcoming obstacles, building resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

I am deeply passionate about individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. My therapeutic style is grounded in DBT, Person-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches, where I provide empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to feel heard, valued, and understood. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of successful therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, develop practical solutions, and achieve their goals. Through a holistic and strengths-based approach, I support clients in fostering emotional, relational, and overall well-being while empowering them to lead more balanced and fulfilling lives.
