Working with this population was challenging but rewarding. The next 5 years have been spent working with the Behavioral Health patients in a hospital setting. Here, my focus has been the geriatric population suffering from major neurocognitive disorder. In this position, I have also been afforded the opportunity to advise social work students and provide clinical supervision to Master level social workers. It is my sincere hope that my years of experience will allow me the chance to provide sound, competent and genuine counseling services to the community in need.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and the elderly. I have provided support groups and counseling for people that identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I have conducted sexual abuse investigations of children and young adults for the Department of Human Resources (DHR), and I have served as a forensic interviewer for the District Attorney of Bessemer. As a native Spanish speaker, I have performed and facilitated interviews and investigations in both English and Spanish. I have been serving as a Social Services Director at a local skilled nursing facility where I have perfomed various tests for mental status and assessments for depression, along with care planning and discharge planning. Join me on this path of self discovery, where we will use your strengths to create a better you.
