Hi! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio. I received my Masters degree from Louisiana State University and have experience working in a variety of settings including community mental health, day treatment, crisis counseling, and private practice. I help clients struggling with grief, loss, and other life transitions regain a feeling of control in their lives.
Is this life now? Does it get better? I'm here to tell you that it does get better. The overwhelm and fog you are feeling is all normal. Whether you are experiencing loss or are just trying to navigate the world, I will walk alongside you and help you figure it out.
My professional experience and my life experience give me the ability to view situations from different perspectives.
I use CBT to help with a wide range of challenges.
I use EMDR most often to help clients work through processing trauma.
I use ACT to help with a wide range of challenges.
Grief therapy is helpful when processing different types of loss. Death, job loss, life transitions, relationship changes, and personal illness are all types of grief in their own way.
I use Motivational Interviewing to help some clients get over the initial hurdle of therapy.
