My Passion
"I have a deep personal connection to the impact that mental health disorders can have on family systems and individuals. Growing up, my older brother had Autism, which caused enormous challenges for my family in identifying appropriate supports. I have also seen the suffering that mental health disorders can cause through my lived experiences with my husband. Now as a mother I am very aware of the risk my children may have for developing anxiety disorders and have become passionate about the development of strong evidence-based prevention programing. I believe that addressing these challenges early is our best recourse for improving the long-term outcomes of our children. On a personal note, I was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, but lived most of my teenage years in Parma, Italy. I embrace my role as a mother and am an active member of my local church community. In my spare time I love taking leisurely walks with family, exploring local restaurants, and traveling to new interesting places."
