As the Senior Director of the Domestic Violence Program at Mujeres Latinas en Acción in Chicago, I bring over seven years of dedicated experience in non-profit and community mental health settings. My expertise is deeply rooted in trauma-informed services and gender-based violence work, where I have supported a diverse clientele through some of the most challenging periods of their lives.
Specializing in program development and clinical leadership, I have a proven track record of implementing effective strategies to enhance service delivery and support for survivors of domestic violence. My approach is client-centered, ensuring that each individual feels seen, heard, and valued. I integrate evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to foster resilience and emotional well-being.
As a bilingual and bicultural clinician, I am committed to fostering an inclusive environment that respects and incorporates all aspects of an individual’s identity. My work is grounded in genuine interactions and a commitment to authenticity, both of which are crucial for building trust and ensuring effective support.
I am passionate about helping clients uncover their strengths, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth. By employing a compassionate and evidence-based approach, I strive to empower each person to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and resilience.
