About
On the record
With 12+ years of experience in women’s recovery, I am committed to advancing trauma-informed, person-centered care that creates pathways for women and their children to heal and thrive together. The model of care I have worked to strengthen emphasizes a continuum of support, including housing, mental health, substance use recovery, family reunification, and community reintegration, delivered through wraparound services and strong cross-sector partnerships. This approach is not only about meeting immediate needs but also about building sustainable systems of care that can be scaled and duplicated across communities. When programs are designed with dignity, respect, and cultural humility at their core, they create opportunities for women to tap into their strengths, rebuild connections, and move forward with hope and purpose. I believe the future of women’s recovery lies in collaboration—bringing health, social services, justice, education, and community organizations together to co-create solutions. By investing in this holistic model of care, we can remove systemic barriers and foster generational healing that reaches far beyond individual recovery.
