I was born and raised in Pacoima, California. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Health Science from the University of Dubuque. I have an M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Concordia University-Irvine. While still getting into the mental health counseling field, I set aside time to continue to pour into our youth as a high school football coach. I have been working with adolescents for 6 years and have 2 years working dual diagnosis with various clients. We are not alone in this world, and as a Clinician, I want to build a relationship with people so they can be reminded that there is a safe space for them to be heard. I love traveling, reading, working out, and spending time with my family. I speak English and Spanish.
