As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an extensive number of years in the social worker field, I have always been called to addressing social justices and inequities. Amongst under deserved communities and subsets of individuals.  When the opportunity presented itself to utilize my clinical expertise in conducting Trauma Informed Mental Health Evaluations/Biopsychosocial and Assessments for immigrants, I knew I would be proficiently prepared. In my private practice, I specialize in working with clients who have experienced various Traumatic experiences, Intimate Partner Violence, PTSD, Mood and Adjustment Disorders that effect their impairment in their everyday lives. I specialize in seeing beyond the presentation of each person I work with.  

​

​

The Culture of Health is dedicated to confidentiality, support, empathy, safety, humanity, and cultural humility as it relates to the overall wellbeing of each client served.

​

The goal for each client I work with is to provide a supportive, compassionate environment that focuses on listening and encompassing their experience. My primary hope is that each client feels a sense of emotional release, while continuing to live their life in the United States without worry, fear or shame.
