About Me
Where There Is Adversity, There Is Hope
I have a PhD and LICSW in social work and I draw upon my professional and lived experience in mental health. I am also a first-generation college and PhD student, raised by a single mother. My work is informed by lived experience of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and as a trauma-informed peer and professional. I have experience with nonprofits, faith communities and academic settings. I also write and perform about my observations and experiences. Deceptive Cadences -my memoir - is my first book. It is about how Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder came into my family and my life. I am sharing parts of my book in my blog on this page in the hope of forming connections with others.
