I am a seasoned social worker with over three decades of experience serving children, families, and communities. My clinical background includes extensive work with trauma, family systems, and school‑based support. As a Licensed Independent Social Worker–Clinical Practice (LISW‑CP), I continue to work with clients who have experienced trauma, integrating my clinical expertise into both my teaching and my leadership of trauma‑informed education initiatives.
In addition to my private practice, I currently serve as the Co‑Director of the Master of Education in Trauma‑Informed Practices at Columbia College and is a Senior Lecturer of Social Work, where I teache and mentors both undergraduate and graduate students.
