I hold a Bachelor's of Arts in Social Work from San Francisco State University (2011) and a Master's of Art in Counseling from Saint Mary's College of California (2015). My master's degree project was titled, Expressive Art Therapy for Survivors of Domestic Violence. I continue to work in both Contra Costa County's mental health services and community-based organizations as a certified bilingual clinician.
