Hello! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S) based in Ohio, with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I received my Master's degree from Case Western Reserve University and have been practicing social work for nine years.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to create a safe. supportive, and empathetic environment where clients feel understood and valued.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting numerous patients dealing with depression, anxiety, and difficulties associated with life transitions, marriage, and family dynamics. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, with a particular focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to empower my clients to achieve lasting positive change.
First session
In our first session, I will typically focus on building a rapport and understanding of the client's concerns. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin to outline a plan for treatment. It's important for me to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences.
