I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rivier College and earned my Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in trauma from Lesley University.

I am committed to providing trauma-informed care and maintaining cultural competence, ensuring that our work together is respectful and empowering.

I believe that with the right support, you can grow, heal, and create a path toward the life you want.
