I am a Clinical Social Work Associate with a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. My professional experience spans overall mental health related services, including behavioral health and residential treatment, where I have provided individual and group counseling, crisis interventions, and evidence-based therapeutic support. I have developed Dialectical Behavior Therapy programming, supported K–12 students through social-emotional challenges, chronic kidney disease patients, and collaborated with families, educators, and interdisciplinary teams to foster resilience and growth.
