I'm a Bi-Lingual (English/Español) Licensed Clinical Social Worker certified in Perinatal Mental Health committed to empowering individuals and couples as they navigate stress which is inhibiting joy and peace during any phase of their journey through parenthood.

Chronic Illness / Pregnancy and Neonatal Loss / Termination For Medical Reasons / High-Risk Pregnancy / Fertility Challenges / Traumatic Birth Experiences / NICU Admissions / Trauma Within the Medical Environment

As a proud Latina and mother of 3, I have a deep understanding of bicultural issues in parenting. My work is empowering of families who identify as:
