I have experience and training in working with both adults and children. I have been a licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. As a bilingual therapist in Spanish as well as English, my career has spanned private practice as well as working for local contract behavioral health agencies. 

My work with trauma in both adults and children uses a mind/body approach that synthesizes the knowledge that both can give us.  Because I know that our mental health is expressed by the body as well as the mind,  my practice includes research-based neuroscience interventions and is informed by a sensorimotor approach.  I have been trained in multiple formats of mindfulness, breath work and meditation and I have been an active meditator for over 15 years.

With over 18 years of experience as a social worker in schools, I am well acquainted with children’s issues and I see youth age 10 and up. I am also well versed in treating parenting issues that arise and frustrate the most well-meaning and conscientious parents.

I look forward to meeting you.  To me the blooming lotus signifies growth and harmony; please enjoy my photographs of them throughout my website.
