I am a human-centered practitioner with a background in higher education and early childhood education, including experience overseeing a preschool program focused on developing language, literacy, and social-emotional skills.
Throughout my career, I have mentored, advised, and supported students as they navigated educational environments and the personal challenges that can come with those experiences. It was through this work—and my passion for supporting the well-being of others—that I decided to transition from education into the mental health field.
As a first-generation college student, I understand how meaningful it can be to have someone in your corner while finding your path. My experiences supporting students through education, leadership, and community involvement helped me recognize my passion for creating spaces where people feel heard, understood, and supported. I especially value helping individuals explore experiences, emotions, and parts of themselves they may not have had the opportunity to fully understand before.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. My approach is centered on building genuine connections and creating a supportive, collaborative space where clients can navigate life’s challenges, better understand themselves, and work toward meaningful change.
My educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Boston and a Master of Education from Boston University. I am currently pursuing a second master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling to further develop my clinical knowledge and skills. I am also certified in Mental Health First Aid.
