I (she/her) am a licensed independent social worker with ten years of experience practicing in Ohio. I received my bachelors and masters in social work from The Ohio State University (OSU). I worked many years as an advocate for college students at OSU before transitioning to working with children/adolescents/families who experienced some form of trauma.
