In 2005, I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology.  I spent the next decade working with youth and families mandated by government agencies to participate in therapy. I worked in psychiatric facilities, group homes, detention centers, day treatment programs, family homes, and in the community. In 2014, began working in hospice care, providing support to patients and families with end-of-life matters, grief, and dying. I moved to Pennsylvania in 2016, where I supervised a Residential Treatment Center/Adult Family Home for adults with "severe" mental illness.

​

In 2020, I entered graduate school, where I obtained a Master of Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh's School of Social Work. During graduate school, I focused on macro social work (community and society), including community organizing, research, and policy and advocacy. I spent four years working with a stormwater management nonprofit where I designed, launched, and organized community and resident-led environmental justice coalitions, and created and advocated for equitable and just policies.​ In 2025, I moved to Washington state to settle into midlife and work towards obtaining my LICSW license. Being in private practice allows me to focus on driving change in meaningful ways where funders, boards, and corporations do not squash progress, nor do they have more power than the people they serve.

​

My experience has taught me that individuals cannot be well if their environment is constantly in chaos, when policy and law do not support wellness, when what we put in our bodies is polluted (food, water, air), and when we are isolated and unwell due to being victims of manufactured mass division. I cannot put into words the insights I have taken in over the years from people I have worked with that have deeply changed me and my understanding of people and the world. I am eternally grateful to these folks and for the privileges I have, which have allowed me to obtain this knowledge, understanding, and power.

​

I couldn't be more excited to be at this place in my life. My goal is to work with others to improve their quality of life. Eventually, I hope to co-create an organization focused on collaboration, regenerative practices, and equity and justice for all. As a social worker, I offer services that are aligned with my expertise. Though I am versatile and committed to constantly growing, developing, and evolving my practice, I am only part of a much bigger system. I believe that once we commit to healing our deepest psychological wounds and grow into self-actualization, we can transcend through community.
