Hello! Frances, here. I'm a Hispanic, multi-racial, queer, agender person and licensed clinical social worker. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy, and use a number of other trauma informed modalities, including Internal Family Systems, Trauma Focused -Acceptance Commitment therapy, Somatic techniques and Polyvagal theory. I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and change. Sometimes we just need help to spark our own mind and body's natural healing processes. I would be honored to be part of your healing journey. I have over 8 years of experience helping adults and teens in crisis and over 10 years working in the social services field. I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed addictions counselor. I have experience in hospitals, prisons and local community agencies in IL and CO. As a social worker, I recognize that my field has perpetuated oppression of marginalized groups. I strive to hold myself accountable and challenge the injustices that perpetuate this marginalization and support the empowerment of these communities. If my approach and what I'm about speaks to you, contact me!
