I am open to working with various races, ethnicities, cultures, spiritualities, genders and sexual orientations! I am LGBTQ+ affirmative.  I approach others from a place of love and strength and positive regard.  Safety is key when opening up to someone.  I strive to provide a safe and comfortable relationship for my clients.    My cultural background includes: 2nd Generation Mexican American, meaning my mother was born in Mexico, and my father was born in the U.S. but grew up in Mexico for part of his childhood. I am a first generation college graduate.  I am also a life long resident of Southern California and grew up in the San Gabriel Valley.   In my adulthood I have either worked or lived in the North East L.A. or Pasadena areas.
