Areas of expertise / proficiency:

Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals, families, and organizations across a wide range of areas related to mental health, well-being, and psychosocial care. I offer guidance on navigating new diagnoses—such as chronic illnesses, and cancer—and help address the impact these may have on patients and their families. My work includes patient education and support for caregivers, schools, workplaces, and communities, always with a focus on clear communication and practical tools.

I also emphasize self-care, survivorship, grief, resilience, and culturally responsive care, particularly for immigrants and underrepresented populations.

On an organizational level, I consult on inclusive work culture, strategic planning, process improvement, and leadership development. I advise on best practices to enhance the patient experience, reduce bias in hiring, and foster alignment with the mission of organizations, creating a sense of belonging and connection within teams. I’m passionate about mentoring future social workers and other mental health care providers, and empowering diverse leaders to thrive in their roles.
