I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’ve devoted my career to walking alongside individuals and families with compassionate, trauma-informed care. I was born San Luis Potosí, Mexico, and I immigrated to the United States at the age of 10. That experience shaped not only who I am, but why I do this work.
As someone who has lived the complexities of immigration firsthand, I hold a deep commitment to culturally responsive, empathetic care. I’ve had the honor of working in diverse settings, always with the goal of supporting immigrant communities and helping them feel seen, heard, and valued. Much of my work has centered around children and families healing from separation and displacement. I’ve supported unaccompanied minors, including many impacted by the “zero tolerance” policy, as well as those navigating the long-term effects of trauma. These stories have left a lasting imprint on me and strengthened my resolve to serve with heart and purpose. In addition to providing therapy, I also offer trainings and support groups for legal and mental health professionals working with immigrant populations. I provide guidance on trauma-informed care, secondary trauma and burnout, and mental health assessments for immigration legal cases. At the core of everything I do is a belief in connection, dignity, and the possibility of healing. No matter where you are on your journey, I’m here to support you—with warmth, understanding, and unwavering respect. |
