Personally
I spent over a decade working in environmental advocacy mobilizing the public around climate change. I worked at the interface of environmental justice confronting our collective history in colonialism. I made the switch into mental health because I learned the power of small, manageable and meaningful steps towards something better and more resilient for the future - your future.
As a first-generation North American with Latin and Italian heritage, I embrace my multicultural background. I welcome individuals from all cultural communities and varying English-speaking abilities.​
​
​
Values
I profoundly believe in honoring the diversity and the authenticity of all people, and that sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression deserve to be respected, affirmed, and celebrated. I am committed to decolonizing my language, biases, and thoughts each day to grow as an ally for the truth and reconciliation that starts with me. I lead with curiosity, compassion, and non-judgement as these values are essential to leading a life of self-determination and realization.
