I hold clinical expertise, a background on the "frontlines" in both community mental health and grassroots movements along with lived experiences of overcoming adversity. The intersection of my identities and my experiences provide me with a well rounded approach to social services that is rooted in effective, trauma informed practices that lead individuals to meaningful change in their lives.

In collaboration with agencies and organizations, I offer guidance and support to strengthen team cohesion, reduce burnout, and foster equity-centered practices. Drawing on a deep understanding of the emotional toll of care work, I help teams navigate complex dynamics such as boundary-setting, communication, and secondary trauma. Whether through training, consultation, or facilitated dialogue, my work is designed to cultivate healthier, more sustainable environments where both staff and clients can thrive.
