Training

I am a bi-cultural, bi-literate Spanish/English-speaking board certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker. 

My theoretical training encompasses cultural and adaptive cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strategic and structural family therapy modalities.

 I recognize my license as an ethical commitment to continue learning and training to provide the most supportive, objective and competent clinical care possible.
