I am a bilingual/bicultural therapist with more than two decades of experience providing support, family education, and counseling in culturally diverse settings with immigrant families, working through the adjustment and stress associated with displacement. My training as a graduate of the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma has prepared me to offer a unique lens to understand the complexity of immigration trauma. Further training at the Immigration Evaluation Institute equipped me to execute and write immigration evaluation reports accurately and professionally. I have a doctorate in leadership in higher education. I strive to offer a welcoming environment with hospitality and a sincere relational approach that is culturally attuned.
As a first-generation Mexican American, having lived in Mexico as a teen and young adult, with my fluency in English and Spanish, my bicultural background enables me to establish rapport and provide culturally competent care to diverse populations while fostering an appreciation for cultural diversity. In addition to my counseling degree, I hold a master’s degree from St. Mary's University in International Relations with a concentration on international development. This educational background broadens my understanding of cross-cultural dynamics and global perspectives, enriching my ability to navigate complex cultural nuances.
As a bilingual therapist based in the southeastern United States, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. Growing up in Mexico before relocating to the US, I have firsthand experience navigating the complexities of immigration. This background, coupled with my professional experience collaborating with immigration attorneys, equips me to offer comprehensive immigration evaluations. Having personally undergone the immigration process, I understand the challenges individuals face and the importance of mental health support during such times of hardship. My dual cultural understanding allows me to connect deeply with clients from diverse backgrounds, providing a safe and empathetic space for them to share their experiences. I am committed to utilizing my expertise to support individuals through their immigration journeys, advocating for their well-being and ensuring they receive the care and assistance they deserve.
I am a licensed social worker with over 25 years experience with trauma-related disorders, specializing in immigration psychiatric reports (VAWA, cancelation of removal, asylum, & hardship/601A) since 2017, primarily in MA, NH, and FL. My style is respectful, warm, and professional and the lawyers I've worked with for several years can attest to this.
