I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Perinatal Mental Health Clinican (PMH-C) with two decades of experience working with adults, children and families experiencing anxiety, depression,  trauma, postpartum anxiety/depression,  disruptive behavior and attachment challenges. I am licensed in Colorado and Washington, DC, providing psychotherapy virtually. 

 

I started my career at Indiana University, earning a Bachelors in Social Work, and later a Masters in Clinical Social Work from the Catholic University of America. I utilize a variety of clinical interventions including somatic, play, art, movement, and talk therapy. I take a holistic view when working with any individual or family, teaching and emphasizing the intersection between mind, body, society, resources, and relationships. 

 

My three therapeutic passions lie in working with children, adults, and prenatal/postpartum support. I enjoy providing child and family therapy because I've seen the impact of early intervention and emotional support for children. I truly believe that therapy and psychoeducation help children develop an emotional toolbox that they will use to cope and build resilience throughout their lifetimes.

 

My second area of focus is providing adult therapy because I understand the vulnerability it takes to engage in growth and change after decades of engaging in behaviors that were protective but now may no longer serve you.

 

My third speciality is supporting new parents experiencing prenatal and postpartum challenges. The adjustment to parenthood changes ones identity, schedule, physical and emotional health, and I enjoy supporting parents through this life-changing period of time. 

​

I am trained in various therapeutic modalities including: Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Somatic therapy through the technique of Focalizing, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
