I graduated with a BA in Sociology/Anthropology and a Minor in French from the University of Redlands. After working with children and families in Illinois and California, I went back to school and earned my Masters in Social Work from Tulane University in New Orleans, LA.

My areas of expertise include child abuse and neglect, bilingual therapy, domestic violence, crisis counseling, and suicide prevention and training.
