Prior to working with MCC Family Services, I worked at a youth partial care facility in Trenton, NJ. There I facilitated various therapeutic groups ranging from: self-regulation/mindfulness, sex education, anger management, trauma (for teen girls), and self-esteem.

I have been trained in use of the Sanctuary Model. I am looking forward to working with you!
