Dr. Boyce’s Journey

My journey into trauma therapy started during my adolescence when I had a transformative experience supporting a trauma survivor. This was a defining moment in my life when I encountered the power of choice, an anchoring pillar that has shaped my career and personal philosophy on healing and recovery. 

Although I was able to offer immediate support, I often wondered how the survivor would navigate the days, weeks, and months ahead. That experience deepened my understanding of how trauma shapes individuals, families, and communities, and it continues to guide how I approach healing and offer support.

Growing up in a culturally rich Panamanian household in Brooklyn, New York, I was surrounded by deep-rooted traditions, resilience, and warmth. The fusion of my heritage with the vibrant energy of the city shaped a worldview grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and meaningful connection. This multicultural lens continues to inform how I connect with people from all walks of life.

Influenced by these early experiences, I pursued studies in psychology, which led to the discovery of social work and its grounding framework: person-in-environment. During this time, I received formal training in trauma therapy alongside complementary healing modalities.

My work is driven by a deep desire to understand the complex realities my clients face and to uncover the root causes behind the challenges affecting their well-being. Through research, practice, and lived experiences, I observed how trauma creates interconnected patterns of emotional instability and mental health challenges that profoundly impact quality of life.

Recovery is not a singular event but rather a lifelong process woven into our transitions.Whether adjusting to a new job, navigating family dynamics, managing major milestones, or facing broader societal stressors, healing requires intention, effort and resilience.

Guided by a holistic philosophy, I’ve spent years serving as an educator, therapist and social entrepreneur. From designing innovative behavioral health programs, to leading transformative workshops and inspirational talks, my work centers on creating sustainable change for individuals and communities.
