I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist dedicated to helping adults overcome trauma and live a fulfilling life. With extensive experience in supporting individuals through various mental health challenges—including substance use, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD— I provide a compassionate and tailored approach to healing. I earned a Bachelor of Social Work with honors from the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I also hold a Master of Arts in Gender Studies from University College London and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Complementing these degrees, I acquired specialized certifications in Sustainable Community Health in Social Work, Diversity and Inclusion, and Knowledge Translation, enriching my ability to address the unique needs of diverse populations. Guided by a holistic perspective and grounded in evidence-based practices, I am passionate about empowering individuals to navigate their healing journey and live a life they genuinely enjoy.
