Liliana is a provisionally licensed clinical social worker who is experienced, passionate and committed to quality of services and making a positive difference in the lives of those seeking assistance. Liliana believes in taking care of yourself in all aspects of life physical, mental and spiritual and believes self care is an important component of maintaining a balanced lifestyle because many of us minimize self care due to different situations.
For the past 3+ years, Liliana has worked with a commitment to providing quality services to diverse populations with a multicultural background and global perspective such as the hispanic community and military community, a variety of age groups and couples. Liliana’s goal is to create a space for the client where they can feel safe, heard and can speak freely without fear of being judged. Some of Liliana’s approaches are strength based and solution focused which consist of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness and motivational interviewing.

YES TO ALL!
If you ask what I do? In a nutshell that is my life and I truly love it! Finding balance in life is so important and all of these parts of me are what does that for me. I became a fitness instructor about the same time I started my masters program to become a social worker and I feel they work together side by side one on one. I also am working on getting my personal trainer license.
I enjoy learning new things and pushing myself to new goals and surpass new limits.
I love all things disney and I mean ALL THINGS DISNEY. My home is decorated with Disney themes, it keeps me a child at heart and it’s just something that makes me genuinely happy and keeps my heart full.
One of my favorite things to do especially when I am stressed, sick or just having a bad day is building legos. This is such a fun activity that my whole family loves as well. I also enjoy scrapbooking and spending time with my friends and family and my 4 dogs.
My Favorites:
Disney movie-Up and CoCo
Disney Princess-Rapunzel
Disney Character-Dumbo
