About Me

As a clinical social worker specializing in trauma, I understand the essential need for intergenerational healing. I assist individuals in uncovering the root causes of their struggles, tackling anxieties, feelings of inadequacy, and fears. With a compassionate approach, I support you in discovering your true self.

Education & Experience

I am a 2011 graduate of Salem State University, in Massachusetts, where I spent several years working in child protection and in immigrant rights advocacy. In 2018, I pivoted to clinical work to focus on supporting individuals on their healing journeys, subsequently earning my LICSW. Since moving to Florida in 2018, I have gained diverse experience working in hospice care, school settings, and a refugee camp at the U.S.-Mexico border. I opened my private practice in 2021 and completed my EMDR training shortly after. My professional path has been winding and complex, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients on their own unique journeys toward healing.
