Education & Experience

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Connecticut (UConn) and a Master's of Social Work from UConn School of Social Work. I have a decade of experience working in mental health which has strengthened my commitment to culturally responsive care and the importance of understanding each person's unique background and lived experiences.

My professional experience includes providing therapeutic services, utilizing trauma informed, and evidence based interventions, and supporting individuals and developing skills, emotional awareness, and resilience. I'm certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TCBT). In addition to my clinical work, I have experience in clinical supervision, supporting the professional development of emerging clinicians, and collaborating with other providers and community partners.

Through Journey to Living LLC, my goal is to support individuals in their journey toward healing, self discovery, and meaningful change. I believe that with the right support, we can move beyond the experience that have shaped us and begin living with greater intention, connection, and purpose.
