My Background

WHERE I'M COMING FROM

Tar on my Heels

I have my undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Romance Languages (Spanish) from UNC-CH. I graduated from the UNC-CH School of Social Work with my Masters in Social Work in 2014.

Advanced Therapy Trainings

I have over 10 years of experience providing individual, family, in-home, & group psychotherapy in community-based and outpatient settings. I am grateful for the opportunities to receive trainings in many different treatment modalities.

Culturally Humbling Experiences

With gratitude, I have been welcomed into community in new places with people who have taught me immensely. My studies and work brought me to spend treasured time in Peru & Mexico.

School of Hard Knocks

Life is a teacher as well, and life has dealt me both joys and tragedy. I am aware of ways in which certain privileges have shaped my experiences, and I also know what it is like to be on the receiving end of support. I have respect for the courage and vulnerability it takes to reach out for help.
