Chat with me

I am a bilingual therapist, I have worked with children most of my career. I started off as a nanny, preschool teacher, after school director and then into welfare for families in children before becoming a therapist. I have my own two children, school age and college, so I can relate to the youth and the parents. I have lots of animals, dogs, cats and bunnies!
