I am a bilingual/bicultural Clinical Social Worker, licensed in New Jersey and New York. I speak Spanish and have a knowledge of Portuguese. I have been practicing for 17 years. This includes many years as a clinical supervisor/clinician in mental health supportive housing, Hospital, and Outpatient Clinic settings in New York and New Jersey. Currently, I consult regularly with PerformCare- New Jersey which works with the Children's System of Care (CSOC), formerly the Division of Child Behavioral Health Services, to coordinate the care of children or young adults. Additionally, identify, classify and case manage students with learning or developmental disabilities in a New Jersey urban public school district.

I provide individual, couples, and family counseling in a specific, individualized strengths-based approach, tailored to the client. Mutually, we will work to cultivate strengths and attain agreed objectives concentrating on the following:

• Cross-cultural/Racial issues
• Divorce/relationship/intimacy issues
• Parenting and Family issues
• Learning/Developmental Disabilities
• Pre-marriage and pre-adoption counseling
• Depression, Stress, and Anxiety
• Work and Career issues
• Adoption and Infertility issues
• Conflict Resolution

I am committed to helping individuals, couples, and families with behavioral, mental health, or emotional challenges while also helping them gain access to the services they need.
