Meet The Team

A Passionate Advocate for Healing and Holistic Wellness

​

After proudly serving in the United States military, I redirected my life's mission toward the healing and empowerment of others by earning a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health. Today, I’m a licensed clinician with over a decade of experience supporting individuals from all walks of life—including military personnel and their families, the LGBTQIA2S+ community, and students at Norfolk State University.

​

My work is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care, with extensive experience in trauma, PTSD, generational trauma, and sexual trauma. I hold certifications in Psychological First Aid, Grief & Loss, and Sexual Trauma, which have equipped me with the skills and sensitivity needed to walk with clients through some of life’s most challenging moments.

​

What drives me is my unwavering passion for helping individuals create their story through the transformative journey of therapy. I take a holistic, client-centered approach—meeting each person exactly where they are and tailoring care to fit their unique needs and life stage. I’m currently expanding my expertise through certifications in holistic living and wellness, continuing my commitment to whole-person healing.

​

Outside the therapy room, I’m a nature lover, cycling enthusiast, and adventure-seeking family woman. One of my many passions is nutrition, which led me to earn a certificate in Ayurvedic Nutrition—a perfect complement to my holistic approach to mental health.

​

Healing is not one-size-fits-all. It's personal, powerful, and possible—and I'm here to help you achieve it.

Mental Health Advocate | Trauma Specialist | Mental Health Consultant

​

After graduating from Columbia University, I wholeheartedly dedicated my career to supporting individuals navigating mental health challenges. With a deep commitment to service and education, I earned my certification in Seminar Training in Field Instruction (SIFI) at NYU, further sharpening my skills in clinical supervision and mental health training.

​

Mental health education is not just my profession—it's my passion and honor. I've had the privilege of speaking publicly, developing and implementing impactful trainings, and presenting to esteemed organizations such as the Child Welfare League of America. My goal has always been to create platforms for growth, healing, and empowerment.

​

One of the most transformative roles in my career was organizing and leading a crisis counseling program in response to Hurricane Sandy. From hiring staff to structuring outreach services, I coordinated efforts to provide vital psychological support to affected communities. My dedication to frontline support began earlier—on the ground after 9/11—where I was honored to serve First Responders and recovery teams at Ground Zero, offering trauma-informed care and psychological first aid.

​

My journey has also brought me to Virginia, where I currently serve military members and their families, bringing a trauma-informed approach to care and providing support for those who serve. With extensive experience working with diverse populations and frontline workers, I specialize in crisis intervention, trauma recovery, and resilience building.

​

Beyond my clinical work, I’m a lifelong learner and nature enthusiast. I find joy in running, exploring cultures, and studying the healing power of nature. I hold a certificate in Medicinal Plants from Cornell University, combining my interest in holistic health with my clinical practice.

​

I believe healing begins with connection—and it is my life's work to foster that connection through education, compassion, and service.
