Milka Engelke, a Therapist Trainee at the Liberation Institute, will be facilitating ‘Conectando las Americas’ Group Therapy. As a Brazilian expat who has also lived 4 years in Europe, Milka brings wide personal experience and cross-cultural understanding of challenges when migrating to a new country. With a background as a licensed Psychologist in Brazil, MSc in Management of Operations from Ireland, Milka is passionate about helping others find meaning, especially in times of transition. Her personal journey through migration, nature, and introspection inspires her therapeutic work. Milka believes in the healing power of purpose, and through her own life experiences, she invites others to explore what truly gives their lives direction and depth.
Kristina Oxford, Therapist in Training at Liberation Institute, was born and grew up in Oregon. Kristina has made and maintained connections within the Hispanic/LatinX community since adolescence. Having learned about hispanic culture and to communicate in Spanish by cross-cultural immersion, Kristina has valuable experience and perspective that can be useful for assisting and supporting the transition to life in the United States. Kristina has a wide range of life, academic, and professional experience which will be useful for connecting others with resources, information, and skills to use while building a brighter future.
