I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, born and raised in Chile. I completed my training as a therapist in Universidad Central de Chile in 2005 and received my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology in 2007 at Northwest University. I am currently working in my doctorate at the Oxford Centre for Missions Studies.
I have done intensive work in cultural identity and the narratives of immigration. I have been in private practice since 2009 and I have provided treatment in English and Spanish for men and women affected by violence and abuse, and to those living in the “in-between.”
I have worked with immigrant and refugee populations since 2006 and have served as a mental health counselor at Samaritan Center of Puget Sound and Seattle Therapy Alliance, a low-income clinic for women in Seattle. I have specific training in Domestic Violence and trauma treatment using Lifespan Integration.
I currently live in Seattle with my husband and my little boy.
