About

I am a licensed certified social worker (LCSW) in Massachusetts, a military veteran, and a classically trained actor with an MFA and a Master of Social Work (MSW) with a certificate in trauma practice. I work virtually with adult individuals navigating trauma, identity, and transition—especially those impacted by complex PTSD, childhood neglect, and military service. My clinical focus includes supporting clients dealing with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI).I have recently completed Emotional Freedom Technique Level 1 Tapping certification through ACEP and look forward to sharing this in my clinical practice. I bring a unique, integrative approach that blends neuroscience, embodiment, and narrative practices, rooted in both professional training and personal lived experience. As someone who has worked in the fields of trauma healing and expressive arts for over two decades, I believe deeply in the power of connection, creativity, and compassionate presence. In addition to my clinical practice, I am the founding director of DE-CRUIT®, an evidence-based trauma recovery program that uses classical theater—especially Shakespeare—as a tool for healing. My work has been featured in over 20 peer-reviewed publications, and I regularly present at conferences such as the International Trauma Conference, the Trauma Research Foundation, and the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium. I am supervised by Shalonda Edwards, MSW, LICSW. I am honored to be part of the Restorative Health & Wellness team, offering a space of care, restoration, and culturally responsive healing.
