My path has not been linear yet I have always been drawn to building connections and helping people grow and have a passion for fostering positive change in individuals and communities. With a background in both biology and psychology, I bring a unique perspective to my work. My academic journey has led me to hold degrees in these two diverse fields, allowing me to explore the interconnectedness of the mind and body. As a therapist, I was dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. In addition to my therapeutic role, I've had the privilege of serving as a faculty member, sharing my knowledge and lived experiences with those around me. Furthermore, held the role of Executive Dean of Equity, advocating for diversity, inclusion, healing and social justice within educational institutions. I believe in the power of education and empathy to create a more liberated and equitable world, and I'm committed to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those I work with and the broader community.
