About Me

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who provides psychotherapy services in Ohio with over 20 years of experience. I am a graduate of University of Cincinnati Masters of Social Work Program clinically trained in mental health. I have served children as young as three years old while a Program Coordinator with Therapeutic Interagency Preschool Program. I have worked in community based counseling centers conducting individual sessions with adults with an array of diagnoses. I have also worked in local hospitals as a hospital social worker doing discharge planning, psychiatric assessments. My experience has also placed me on behavioral health units with children and with adults completing groups and individual sessions for substance abuse and mental health disorders. I am a certified EMDR provider, who finds this modality to be pivotal in healing the brain and body from traumatic experiences. I enjoy seeing people progress through life's challenges and feel empowered to meet goals and overcome symptoms. I am dedicated to seeing people resolve life challenges and thrive!
