Born and raised in North Philadelphia, Antoinette developed a passion for helping others and an understanding that everything is “figureoutable” at an early age. Her curiosity allowed her to form an understanding of patterns of behaviors that people faced when they entered the criminal justice system, which fueled her professional journey

Antoinette has a Masters degree focused in Criminal Justice/Homeland Security from Saint Joseph’s University, a Masters degree focused in Clinical and Counseling Psychology/Diverse and Underserved Communities from Chestnut Hill College.  She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Behavior Specialist (LBS). She combines her professional expertise and lived experience to reduce recidivism, support families, and help individuals develop the coping skills necessary to heal from complex trauma and build meaningful, sustainable lives.
