I’m proud to be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona and Oregon.

As a qualified Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have extensive experience in working with Children, Parents (Parent Education and Support), Teens, Adults and Seniors. I earned an AS degree in Early Childhood Education in 1992 from Canada College in Redwood City, CA,

BS Degree in 1996 From Eastern Oregon University, La Grande, OR, and an MSW from Portland State University, OR in 2007. I also have a Post Graduate Degree in Adoption and Foster Care Therapy . I believe what really sets me apart from the rest of the industry is my attention to detail and ability to cater to the unique needs of each client.

GET TO KNOW ME

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and spent summers in Mexico. I began my career working with children and families in 1988 as a preschool teacher with a minor in Child Development. I moved to Bend OR in 1991 where I grew my career and developed my skills for over 27 years. Growing with the the community in Bend, I was immersed in working with diverse family systems and have a passion for helping families identify their strengths and develop skills in becoming a healthier family unit. Since then, I’ve relocated to Arizona and have developed a large and loyal client base who have come to depend on my expert services. I believe in putting my clients first and provide exceptional customer service.

I am proud of my Mexican heritage and have worked and supported Hispanic communities and families throughout my career. I am immersed with the Hispanic culture and understand Hispanic family systems. I also support my clients who are struggling with the current difficult immigration process.

I have over 30 years of experience working with children, families and individuals. I enjoy working with all ages and stages of life, from 0-adults and have vast experience in working with a variety of family system issues, personal trauma and parental support and education.

I value building rapport and trust in the client-therapist relationship and working with my clients to achieve their desired goals in their therapeutic journey. My experience includes working with attachment issues, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, depression, OCD, family system issues (including grandparents raising grandchildren), substance use disorder, behavior management, trauma, and domestic violence issues. I am trained in EMDR and use a variety of modalities including CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, and focus on strength-based perspective. My hope is for your therapeutic journey to be a positive experience where you can grow and learn how to love and be the best version of yourself. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
