Throughout my career, I have supported individuals and families coping with psychological trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. I am deeply committed to providing holistic care, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, including psychiatrists, physicians, case managers, and legal professionals, to ensure that clients receive comprehensive, personalized treatment.

I have had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including as a Pediatric Social Work Counselor at MD Anderson, where I provided emotional support and psycho-social assessments for pediatric oncology patients and their families. As a School-Based Therapist, I worked with elementary students facing challenges such as ADHD, trauma, anxiety, and depression. In my role as an Infant Early Childhood Mental Health Clinician, I offered mental health consultation to early childhood educators while supporting families through grief, trauma, and behavioral concerns.

I have also gained extensive experience working with children in therapeutic settings, including play therapy. This has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career, as it allows children to express themselves and process emotions in a safe, supportive environment. Play therapy provides a unique opportunity for children to communicate through creative expression rather than words alone. Through play, children explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and work through trauma in ways that feel natural and empowering. Witnessing the resilience and growth of the children I work with continues to inspire me and reinforces my belief in the power of play as a therapeutic tool. Not only does play therapy facilitate healing, but it also allows children to do so while having fun!
