Work History
I graduated from NJ Caldwell University Master’s Program in 2008. My career began at non-profit mental health agency where I provided crisis intervention, assessment, and counseling to clients ages 2 to late adulthood. My focus was providing support, referral, and advocacy for victims of domestic violence, abuse, and neglect. After 10 years as a Senior Clinical Counselor, I became Program Director and continue to provide clinical supervision and direction to early career counselors by ensuring the delivery of high-quality, safe, and effective mental health care focused on improving outcomes for clients and their families. My work in the mental health field and my devotion to my family brought me to further study the impact of early childhood experiences on development and growth. In my long career, I have observed the long-term negative impact of stress, abuse, neglect, and mental health needs on children and how it transcended into adulthood. I further learned firsthand the positive effects of incorporating evidence-based mental health treatment.
