Education & Experience

I was raised in a bicultural and bilingual home and I am first generation on my father's side, so we grew up going back and forth to Mexico. I have a BA in Spanish and BS in Psychology from the University of Idaho and spent time traveling to Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, visiting Scotland and Ireland. I completed my Master of Arts in Counseling from Boise State University in 2012.
That same year, I completed my EMDR Level I and II training.
I have been blessed to have Katie O'Shea as a mentor and guide, in my practice from 2012-2019!
For 10 years, I worked for a community health care clinic and served as the clinical supervisor for SANE Solutions, which specializes in healing traumas stemming from sexual assault. Combined with my play therapy background, I worked with children as young as 2 years of age. I spent four years in private practice and was missing community so am now back in the public health sector working for one of the major hospitals in the area.
