Hello there! I am a bilingual, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Masters degree from Ottawa University and 8 years of experience working with youth and adults. I bring a unique perspective to my practice as I live successfully with ADHD, have 17 years of recovery from substance abuse, and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ family. Beyond my professional life, I am a father, a brother, a mentor to many youth, and a humble servant to my community. Que tal, mi objetivo es que su experiencia de terapia sea cómoda.
