Education
Springfield College, Master of Social Work, Masters Degree in Social Work, 2007 — My academic training includes a Master’s in Social Work, where I focused on evidence-based practice, trauma-informed care, and culturally responsive treatment approaches. My education emphasized understanding how systemic factors, family dynamics, and lived experiences shape mental health. My undergraduate background in Criminal Justice, with minors in Psychology and Sociology, deepened my understanding of human behavior, social systems, and the impact of trauma within legal and community contexts. This foundation allows me to thoughtfully support clients navigating high-stakes situations such as custody or immigration matters, while also understanding the broader cultural and systemic influences that affect emotional well-being.
Work HistoryThroughout my career, I have worked in community mental health, private practice, and specialized settings supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. These experiences allowed me to work with diverse populations, including those impacted by systemic stress, legal involvement, and complex family dynamics. Over time, I developed a strong focus on trauma informed care and supporting high functioning adults who appear steady on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally. My work in evaluation settings, including custody and immigration cases, strengthened my ability to assess complex situations thoughtfully while remaining compassionate and grounded. These experiences shaped my approach today. I am direct, culturally responsive, and focused on helping clients experience meaningful, real world change.
