Therapist Overview
( English | español ) With Bachelor and Master of Social Work degrees I am grounded in the values of human relationships, dignity and worth of the person, human and cultural diversity, social justice and advocacy, and community mental health. I am honored to offer goal oriented and person-centered therapy individualized your expressive nature . I enjoy working with clients who would like to challenge their growth and get to know themselves in order become a better version of who they are. I believe that each of us has a life path and holds the capacity to authentically contribute to our world in positive manner. My experience as a social worker includes work with clients in healing from trauma, violence, sexual abuse, oppression, grief, & adjustment. After teaching English & interpreting for 10 years, I gained experience in refugee support, after school programs, prisoner reentry programs, family housing outreach, migrant education & school social work. I love kids, growth and the process of learning, and strong supportive communities. When I’m not working, I love dance (I studied for many years), yoga and being outside. I also played competitive soccer for 13 years. Combining skills, experience, and creativity I have developed a unique perspective in providing therapy and various mediums for expression. Con licenciatura y maestria en Trabajo Social, baso mi trabajo en el valor de las conexiones humanas, la dignidad y el valor de cada persona, la diversidad humana y cultural, la justicia social, el apoyo, y la salud mental de comunidades. Me da mucho gusto ofrecer therapia indivdualizada dirigida por las metas que tiene usted para su vida, utilizando sus inclinaciones de expresion. Disfruto trabajar con clientes que quieren conocerse y llegar a ser una mejor version de si mismo. Yo creo que cada uno de nosotros tenemos un camino en la vida y poseemos la capacidad contribuir autenticamente a nuestro mundo en una manera positiva. Mi experiencia como trabajadora social incluye trabajar con clientes sanando de trauma, violencia, abuso sexual, oppresion, pena, y el cambio. Despues de esenar e interpretar por 10 anios, trabaje tambien en apoyo para gente refugiada, programas extracuriculares, programas para ex prisioneros, apoyo para familias, & como trabajadora social escolar. Quiero mucho a los ninos, al aprendizaje y a las comunidades sanas. Cuando no estoy trabajando, amo a la danza (estudie varios anios), la yoga y la naturaleza.
