Hello! I'm a Clinical Social Worker based in Ohio. I received my Master's from the University of Akron/Cleveland State University and have practiced for 9 years. I help adults struggling with life transitions. I’ll help you develop practical tools to live more fully and authentically through parenting, career, and relationship changes. My approach combines mindfulness-based strategies with a focus on empowerment and intentional living, giving you the support you need to thrive during times of uncertainty.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You'll be greeted with compassion and openness, where your feelings, experiences, and goals are met with respect and curiosity. We’ll start by exploring your reasons for seeking therapy, current challenges, and any goals or changes you hope to achieve. Whether it's reducing stress, lowering anxiety, building joy, or navigating specific life challenges, we'll begin shaping a roadmap for your growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide an empathetic and non-judgmental demeanor that helps clients open up and trust the process. I love to go beyond symptom management, helping clients explore how to align their lives with their values and aspirations for authentic well-being. I am able to meet clients where they are, honoring their unique experiences and pacing. I like to collaboratively define goals to ensure clients feel empowered in their journey.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
It can be challenging to be present in the moment without judgment. Mindfulness-based approaches help people develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations, fostering acceptance and self-compassion. By incorporating mindfulness techniques, people can learn to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns in a more balanced, grounded way.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Our environment and culture shape our individual experiences. I am knowledgeable of cultural differences in communication styles, boundaries, and expectations. Fostering a mutual sense of safety is a crucial piece to the therapeutic alliance.
