I am licensed in Illinois with many years of professional experience. Over the years I have helped clients from many cultural and ethnic backgrounds who struggle with difficulties of stress and anxiety, depression, parenting and relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and serve clients in both languages. In addition, I have worked extensively in public schools. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am here to support you in that process.
Soy bilingüe en español y inglés y tengo muchos años experiencia trabajando con la comunidad Latino. He ayudado a muchos clientes que luchan con estrés y ansiedad, dificultad con las relaciones importantes y el papel de ser padre, conflictos familiares y situaciones de luto y perdidas. También, he servido mucho tiempo en las escuelas públicas. Entiendo bastante de las dificultades de adaptación a una vida bastante diferente de su cultura ancestral. Creo que todos merecemos ayudo con respeto, sensibilidad y compasión. Va ser mi placer ayudarles.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
