About

I have been in my own practice for 12 years. I have provided support for clients suffering from Grief, trauma, sexual abuse and substance abuse. I have supported many victims of domestic abuse. My internship was supporting Spanish-speaking women struggling with concerns surrounding abuse. Prior to opening my own practice, I worked for the foster care system. I also ran a satellite office for the Josselyn Center. I am presently a clinical supervisor for Mending Minds Behavioral Health. I utilize many different modalities to accommodate the people I serve. I am trained in EMDR ( for those suffering from PTSD), DBT and CBT therapies. I utilize an eclectic and integrative approach to support individuals on their path to recovery and discovery. Everybody is unique with regard to their mental health and their discovery journey. I received my Master's degree from National Louis University. I worked in substance abuse facilities and spend 6 years working in Foster care. I have served many of the Spanish-speaking population. In tandem with my private practice, I am currently the Clinical Supervisor for Mending Minds Behavioral Health in Wisconsin. I hope you give me the opportunity to encourage your growth. I take what I do very seriously.
