Throughout my career, I've consistently centered the healing and empowerment of communities impacted by systemic inequalities, with a particular focus on communities of color, individuals experiencing homelessness, and those navigating complex trauma and mental health challenges. I've provided both individual and group therapy to individuals with varying levels of mental health needs. I've designed and facilitated wellness support groups for women, individuals experiencing homelessness, addressing both mental health and basic needs through case management and advocacy. Previously, I provided direct support to guaranteed income participants, many of whom were navigating the effects of generational trauma and economic marginalization through community building, healing-centered engagement, and culturally specific programming. My internships largely involved me supporting community based health initiatives and providing clinical services in hospital settings.

 

Across these roles, I've had the privilege of walking alongside clients navigating grief, identity, self-exploration, self-esteem challenges, deficit-thinking, and acute mental diagnoses such as PTSD, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I bring not only clinical skills, but a deep commitment to honoring the resilience and wisdom that each client carries as part of their family systems. I'm especially passionate about creating therapeutic spaces that foster connection and growth.
