I attended the University of Illinois, Champaign - Urbana and then the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration. I have spent my career advocating for equitable access to health and mental health services for children and families. In 2022, I came to Journey to work on the school based mental health team where I engage in strategic planning and partnerships, facilitate trauma support skill building groups for middle and high schoolers, and work with youth and their families in individual clinical sessions to alleviate symptoms of trauma, stress and anxiety and reclaim joy in their daily lives.

I have many interests and hobbies that lead me outside, including hiking, biking and walking our two goofy dogs.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Mindfulness
