I am a Licensed Psychotherapist serving individuals living with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, autism, dementia, chronic medical conditions, and substance use disorders. Every day, I witness the power of resilience and the life-changing impact of healthy coping strategies, support, and empowerment. I am also a proud mother of two adopted children from the NYC child welfare system, now thriving adults, and a teenage daughter who inspires me daily to continue breaking generational cycles.

In January 2027, I will begin my Doctorate in Social Work at Simmons University—the first school of social work in the United States. This next step will allow me to expand my impact through advanced clinical practice, research, and leadership—particularly in communities affected by trauma, poverty, and mental health disparities. Mental illness is not a death sentence. Trauma is not the end of the story. Healing is possible.

The funds raised will help cover my tuition as I pursue this doctorate. I am asking for your support as I continue this journey—not just for myself, but for every person who needs someone to believe in their capacity to heal and rise. Thank you for being part of this mission.
