Group Facilitation & Curriculum Design:

I lead workshops and group programs on trauma recovery, stress management, and mental health for students, parents, and educators, with a focus on building community resilience.

I combine these frameworks to offer a safe, inclusive, and personalized therapeutic space—grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a deep commitment to mental wellness.
