I was led to the field of social work because of my desire to help others. I obtained my bachelor's in criminal justice. After beginning my journey in juvenile justice, I saw how trauma and life experiences impact children and families, particularly those of color. It made me see how important it is to break the cycle of trauma and the stigma associated with mental health. Since then, I have worked in multiple settings with diverse populations.
I have worked as a provider and clinical supervisor of evidence-based treatment. My clinical focus is addressing depression, anxiety, family issues, parental concerns, school behavioral/truancy concerns, and more. I use a collaborative approach along with evidenced-based interventions to help clients meet their goals.
I work to create a safe space where trauma, feelings, and fears can be explored without judgment. I am passionate about the work that I do and I work to empower clients by using their strengths and introducing skills to overcome their obstacles. Together, we will create treatment goals so that we can identify when progress is being made.
