Bridging criminal justice, mental health, and public policy.
For five years, I worked inside the New York City jail system, treating adults with serious mental illnesses, leading multi-disciplinary clinical teams, and collaborating closely with the Department of Corrections. My education, coupled with this practical experience, positions me to help organizations create meaningful change at the intersection of mental health and social systems.

Policy Analysis & Development Drawing on my MPA in Public Policy, I help organizations navigate the complex intersection of mental health services and public systems, ensuring that policies serve the people they're meant to help.
My Consulting Approach
Just as in therapy, I believe in collaboration over hierarchy. I work with organizations, not for them, to identify strengths, address challenges, and create sustainable change that honors both staff wellbeing and client needs.
