Special Interests/Training: Forensic specialist/interviewing, Child sexual abuse assessments, Fluent in Spanish, Conducts trainings on treatment modalities for youth and teens, sexual harassment and stress management.
Social Work Philosophy: I believe it is important to empower people to help themselves. Sometimes they need a little support along the way, but families need to learn to manage their lives and know when to ask for help. I believe it is about a hand up, not a hand down.
