I  hold a DSW and MSW from NYU Silver School of Social Work and a post-graduate certificate in Advanced Clinical Practice.  My work experience in the field has encompassed several positions involving assessing and treating trauma in children, adolescents, and adults.  I participated in a Clinical Social Work Fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic for Children.  

I am bilingual (Spanish) and previously worked at the Mount Sinai World Trade Center Mental Health Program, providing evaluation, psychotherapeutic, and referral services for 9/11 first responders.  Recently, I worked as a staff psychotherapist at the Larchmont Mamaroneck Community Counseling Center providing individual, family, and group counseling services to Southern Westchester County's Spanish-speaking community.

I have been an adjunct lecturer at the NYU Silver School of Social Work.  As of Fall 2021, I joined the faculty at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT, as an Assistant Professor of Sociology.  My area of research is trauma among the undocumented Latinx community. I am in network with United, Oxford, Oscar, Aetna and Cigna.
