Meet Milly

Hello! Thank you for wanting to know more about me! I always have a hard time talking about myself because I am very much an introvert and prefer to listen. So, the professional background information might be a bit short, but you can always ask me anything!

I have been working in the mental health field since 2017 and officially became a licensed social worker in 2019. I attended New Mexico State University and attended Columbia University for my Master’s degree in Social Work. Throughout my career, I have completed training in CBT, DBT, ERP for OCD, and most recently, I have been trained in EMDR therapy.

Now that the professional background is out of the way, I want to give you the tea about me!

I started Candil Counseling because I wanted to offer affordable counseling services to students, young adults, and young professionals. When I was a student, I struggled with figuring out who I was, understanding my neurodivergence, and believing that I could be successful in school and in my career. Plus, it was very hard finding affordable mental health care as a student.

My hope is that Candil Counseling can be a safe space for you where you can feel heard, understood, and become the person you want to be.
