Bio
I am a bilingual mental health practitioner with a master’s degree in Forensic Mental Health Counseling and a doctorate candidate in Clinical Psychology. I provide individual and group psychoeducation and counseling to adults, both in English and Spanish. I am interested in pursuing opportunities in forensic psychology, particularly, prevention, assessment, and treatment services for individuals struggling with severe mental illness and undergoing criminal proceedings or immigration proceedings.
