I know life can be stressful, and just because you're young, doesn't mean that you don't experience worries, stress and overwhelm. I love working with children ages 6 and up, and young adults up to age 25.

I graduated from Purdue University with my Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Human Development and Family Studies. I had always known from a young age that I enjoyed working with children and adolescents, and I quickly figured out that Counseling was the right career path for me. I always valued helping others and providing a supportive surrounding for those who may feel lost, alone or helpless. I earned my Masters from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, with concentrations in Children and Adolescents, and Latino Mental Health.
