Biography
I value open communication and believe in creating a warm, supportive environment where patients feel respected and understood. With over fifteen years of experience helping individuals heal from trauma, I view the therapeutic process as an opportunity for patients to reclaim their voices and move from "victim" to survivor on their own terms. Patients can expect empathy, collaboration, and a strong sense of safety in my care. I begin each therapeutic relationship by establishing trust and safety, encouraging honest dialogue around personal and family challenges. I integrate education, reflection, and resource sharing on topics like communication and conflict resolution. Together with patients, I develop personalized short- and long-term goals rooted in their individual and cultural values, ensuring therapy supports meaningful and lasting growth.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Massachusetts and a Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling from Walden University. My professional journey began in law enforcement, later leading to education and mental health advocacy. My work as a crisis advocate for survivors of sexual assault and domestic abuse inspired me to pursue counseling full time. Since earning my graduate degree in 2015, I have worked extensively with children, families, and adults, specializing in trauma recovery and empowerment.
