Hi families! I’m Angelique (Ang), proud mama to my sweet boy, Mateo. Becoming a young mom shaped so much of who I am today, through the ups, the challenges, and the deep appreciation for the support every parent deserves.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a focus in counseling, and my passion for mental health comes from lived experience. Postpartum wasn’t an easy season for me, and I often felt like my voice wasn’t being heard. That experience drives me to make sure the families I work with feel seen, supported, and never alone. I strive to take away the negative stigma surrounding mental health and motherhood, and I love being able to have those real and honest conversations with parents.

I joined Fourth Down in 2023 and have loved walking alongside families as they welcome their little ones. Some of my favorite moments come in the quiet of the night, talking with new moms during feedings and reminding them that their mental and emotional wellbeing is just as important as their physical recovery.

When I’m not supporting families, I’m with Mateo at his activities, spending time with my siblings and parents, or relaxing with an audiobook, podcast, or musical. Family, community, and connection mean everything to me, and that’s exactly what I bring into the work I do with my families.
