I've worked in outpatient community mental health settings, ABA agencies, and schools in Southern California and South Florida holding different leadership positions across different agencies. This provided ample experience to work with individuals and families with a wide variety of concerns and backgrounds. I have worked providing trauma informed therapy to children, adolescents and adults in crisis as identified by the Department of Children and Families. I have partnered with Kaiser Permanente and Health Management Associates in providing integrative behavioral health for depression for underserved population working collaboratively with MDs and psychaitrist. I have volunteered in National Alliance of Mental Health as a Spanish Outreach leader and United Nations advocating for mental health services in underserved communities.
