About Ignacio

I am a social worker that integrates technology tools in practice to deliver services more efficiently, collaborate with other helping professionals, and organize information (from treatment plans and assessment tools to psychoeducational tools) in a coherent, ethical, and aesthetically pleasing manner.

I started this blog to provide my knowledge to other professionals and disseminate information to those who may benefit from my expertise in utilizing these (often free) tools.

I enjoy listening to NPR, reading, and utilizing my various iDevices (Phone and Pad) to learn and to teach.

Say hello or send me an email!

    Hey man, love this blog. I am a social worker in private practice and I dig your style. Very cool. I would love to doodle genograms on an ipad.

      Thank you for following my blog! Doodling genograms on the iPad is a little tedious, but it’s fun!

      I am a real social worker, I swear!

      I’m just using my skills and strengths in technology to (hopefully) inspire other social workers to use technology to improve their practice.

      Thanks for stopping by :)
