Healing Justice Practitioner | Wellness Strategist | Restorative Leader Designing Cultures of Care, Connection & Collective Power

These formative moments fuel a practice centered on dignity, restoration, and resilience.

Her approach combines culturally responsive therapy, restorative practices, and community-led equity strategies to spark change at every level.
