About me

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio since 2011, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients work through challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I'm deeply committed to creating a compassionate, affirming space where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.

My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy to address a wide range of concerns including anxiety, substance use concerns, mood disorders, relationship dynamics, and healing from past trauma.

I'm particularly passionate about working with clients seeking a supportive, non-judgmental environment. My practice welcomes diverse experiences and identities, with a focus on empowering individuals to build resilience, improve communication, and increase self worth. Together, we'll collaborate to develop personalized strategies that honor your unique journey and support your emotional well-being. I am so glad that you are here!
