I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Richmond, VA. I began my social work career in 2018, specializing in participatory action research aimed to address youth homelesness in the Richmond and Tri City areas of Virginia. I continue to engage in this work, and have had my findings published in research journals as well as presented on a local, national, and federal based level. I strive to combine my clinical and policy based experience to destigmatize mental and behavioral health issues in marginalized communities, address treatment gaps, provide accessible, affirming, and quality care to those who have been historically underserved.
