I am a licensed psychologist in Pennsylvania, working with Spanish- and English-speaking adults. My Latina identity and bi-cultural background uniquely enable me to work with individuals to understand the influence of their context on their current position.
With the client at the helm, my strengths-based approach enables you to regain a sense of control over those areas of your life that you feel have been frustrating or eluding you. This is also facilitated by our working together to gain a better understanding of the impact of past experiences, traumatic or day-to-day, on current actions, choices, behaviors, and emotion-states. The resulting awareness is often a powerful springboard for meaningful change and growth. I look forward to working with you in exploring and understanding your life for personal growth.
I completed my Doctorate in Psychology from the Virginia Consortium Program in Clinical Psychology in Norfolk, Virginia, and my predoctoral internship at the Coatesville VAMC, in Coatesville, PA. I then completed intensive post-doctoral training in child, adolescent, adult, and family psychology in a community mental health center in Kennett Square, PA, working primarily in Spanish with a largely immigrant, and Latinx population. I have also worked in community mental health in North Philadelphia, and in private practice since 2014. I complete psychosocial evaluations for immigration purposes, both in English and Spanish.
