Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
Please dont laugh but I was largely influenced by TV shows like NCIS, CSI and Psych! It intrigued me that we could use the knowledge of how the human brain and personality worked to help improve a person's daily life (and solve crimes). Unfortunately, I found Criminal/Forensic Psychology to be less appealing to me as a grew up and fortunately, I still wanted to learn about how our brains worked and find ways to help people in their daily lives and that inspired me to continue studying Psychology in higher education.

Work HistoryMy practicum (internship) experience was at a children and adolescent psychiatric hospital program on the West side of Chicago, which primarily served lower socioeconomic status POC children from all over the city. I worked with a variety of cases and clients across inpatient services to partial hospitalization patients. Due to the intensive nature of the hospital, I have a lot of experience working with trauma cases. Personally, I would like to work with immigrants, people of color (POC) and LGBTQIA+ people who are often underserved in the mental health field. I currently work at a trauma focused private practice which often serves these populations as well due to the intersectionality of multiple identities.
