Meet Our Founder
Why I started BridgeAccess
As a psychotherapist and community advocate, I created BridgeAccess to help bridge gaps among behavioral health services, family support, and community wellness. My passion is helping individuals, families, students, and organizations navigate life’s challenges with confidence and access to the right resources.
I earned my Master of Social Work, specializing in Health and Mental Health, from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Behavioral Health at Arizona State University. With over nine years of experience in the field, I bring a deep commitment to compassionate, culturally responsive care and a genuine passion for the people I serve.
At BridgeAccess, we meet people where they are. We work alongside you to build on your strengths, navigate challenges, and create meaningful, lasting changes that support a better quality of life.
