Meet Alba

I’m a bicultural/bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and adults across various settings. My approach varies based on each client’s needs and is grounded in culturally empowering, trauma-informed, and client-centered care. I strive to deliver culturally and linguistically sensitive services, helping people improve their lives by building cognitive and emotional skills using evidence-based interventions like CBT, ACT, DBT, and TF-CBT.

My approach varies based on each client’s needs and is grounded in culturally empowering, trauma-informed, and client-centered care.
