Education & Experience

I completed my graduate work in clinical social work at The Ohio State University in 1998. I've been independently licensed (LCSW) to practice therapy since 2000 and have over 20 years of clinical experience. Throughout my career, I've worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings including hospice care, inpatient psychiatric, and outpatient therapy. Additionally, I studied women's issues, culture/spirituality, and social work while on a graduate study abroad program in India. I lived and worked on the remote Hopi Indian Reservation in Northern Arizona. And while volunteering in Zambia, I developed and facilitated a teacher-training focused on children's grief issues. In 2003, I began developing a specialty focus on trauma therapy. I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist.
