My professional experience includes:
Anxiety and depression in children, adolescents, and families
Bilingual therapy (English and Spanish)
Issues associated with biculturalism
First- and second-generation Americans
Trauma and PTSD
High parental expectations
Grief and loss
Education and Background:
I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (SW26009) in the state of FL and I am in the process of attaining licensure in the state of GA.
I’ve also attained additional training in working with children and adolescents dealing with depressive and anxious symtpoms.
I graduated from the University of North Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice with a minor in Social Welfare, and from the University of North Florida with a Master of Social Work.
