My background in early intervention research and personal experiences with mental health struggles in my family have fueled my passion for supporting others.

Work History

I have worked as a therapist in community mental health settings, in outpatient clinics, and working in non-profit wraparound services. Previously, I worked conducting clinical research and neuropsychological assessments and as a mental health coach. I completed a Master's in Clinical Psychology from UNC Greensboro and Master of Social Work degree from the University of Utah. This unique combination of educational backgrounds has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of human behavior, mental health, and effective therapeutic interventions with a social justice lens.
