I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Master’s level Social Worker with extensive experience providing clinical services to children, adolescents, adults, and families in home, school, community, and outpatient settings. I bring excellent communication skills, a strong work ethic, and a solutions-focused, goal-oriented approach to clinical practice. I am highly adaptable, organized, responsible, and committed to evidence‑based, trauma‑informed care.

My professional background includes nearly a decade of work as an In‑Home Therapist within the Massachusetts Children’s Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI), where I have conducted functional behavioral assessments, developed individualized behavior plans, and collaborated closely with families, youth, and multidisciplinary teams to reduce problematic behaviors and strengthen family functioning. I have provided in‑home and in‑community services across multiple agencies, consistently meeting documentation, productivity, and professional development expectations.

In addition, I have served as a Clinician in Substance Use Disorder/MAT and OTP settings, completing comprehensive intake evaluations, risk and crisis assessments, and providing individual psychotherapy grounded in sound clinical theory and judgment. I actively coordinate care with other providers to ensure client safety, continuity of care, and integrated treatment planning.

My school-based experience includes providing outpatient therapy in a school setting, maintaining a regular student caseload, involving families and collaterals as clinically indicated, and collaborating effectively with school staff to support students’ emotional, behavioral, and academic success. Earlier professional roles in Puerto Rico as a Social Worker in the Department of Education and through multiple internships (justice-involved populations, retirement home, community agencies) have strengthened my skills in case management, psychoeducation, socio‑educational workshops, group interventions, and interagency collaboration.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Inter-American University of Puerto Rico, Metropolitan Campus, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts and Humanities with a concentration in Criminology from the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico, Ponce Campus. I am licensed at the Master’s level in Connecticut, certified in CANS (Commonwealth of Massachusetts), and trained in CPR/First Aid/AED. I am enthusiastic, cooperative, and dedicated to empowering diverse populations through culturally responsive, strengths-based, and client-centered practice.
