As a dedicated Bilingual Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of clinical experience and two decades spent working in various capacities, I have cultivated a deep passion for supporting children, families, and communities. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in New York City, my heritage has profoundly shaped my perspective, allowing me to connect with diverse populations and understand the unique challenges they face. My culturally competent practices are ethically driven, strengths based, faith incorporated and trauma informed, ensuring that every client feels heard, valued, and understood.

Balancing my professional life with my personal commitments as a mother of three and a devoted wife is both challenging and rewarding. My family inspires me to continue my advocacy work and fuels my passion for creating a brighter future for the next generation. I understand firsthand the intricacies of family dynamics and the importance of maintaining strong support systems, which further enhances my ability to relate to my clients’ experiences. My Christian faith enhances my skills but does not hinder my ability to work with those of varying faiths. Christ commands us to love one another as we would love ourselves and service is expected in that love. Integration of faith is vital in successfully completing goals and finding homeostasis.
