I am currently pursuing my PhD in International Psychology with special concentration in trauma services at the Chicago school of Professional Psychology. I have a post-Master certificate in Substance abuse with specialization in Addiction from North Central University. A master’s degree in social work from the University of St Francis, Illinois. And bachelor’s in human services management for the University of Pheonix. I believe in the guiding beliefs and principles that influence my work as a Social Worker, that is, the Social Work Code of Ethics, especially when it comes to respecting and preserving the dignity and worth of a person which falls into my philosophy of life. My philosophy is caring and loving others through respect while preserving their dignity and self-worth. I grew up in a Christian family, I am a Catholic and prayer strengthens me as a person and help me to embrace the spiritual world. My values fall within kindness, respect, communication, consideration, love, empathy, and honesty which I believe bring peace of mind and make the world go round. We are all human beings no matter our culture background, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, beliefs, affiliations, marital status, level of education, economic or social status, we deserve to be treated as a person.
