About

My journey into the field began as a teenager in therapy, igniting a passion for helping others. A pivotal moment came while working as a summer camp music teacher when a young camper in crisis climbed to the roof, threatening to jump. Talking him down safely transformed my perspective: I realized that people need tools to navigate life’s challenges even more than they need to learn new skills like playing the trumpet. That experience redirected my path toward psychology and, ultimately, social work, where I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals find hope and healing.
