I grew up in Las Vegas, NV in a big, blended family.

After finishing my undergraduate degree, I moved to Washington state to pursue my master’s degree in Couples and Family Counseling at Gonzaga University. During my internship and following graduation, I worked at an inpatient treatment facility for teens dealing with high suicidality, self-harming behaviors, and psychosis. It was during this time that I began to recognize how much work can be done to prevent crises before they strike, rather than trying to figure it all out afterwards.

It was also during this time that I realized how much I LOVE working with teens and young adults.  We can learn so much from them!

After having my son in 2020, I decided to move back to Las Vegas to be closer to family. I have a darling 3-year-old son as well as a tiny pup: Henri. These two are my best guys and I adore them both!
