Hi! I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker with a Supervisory designation (LISW-S) based in Ohio. I received my Masters Degree from Youngstown State University and have been practicing for over 10 years. I help people of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, life stressors and relationship problems. My goal is to help get you through these difficult moments and get your life where you want it to be!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing and wanting to work on. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in our follow-up sessions!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

After working as a therapist for over 10 years, I think my greatest strength is helping to make clients feel comfortable being themselves by creating a non-judgmental and down to earth environment!

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with people who are seeking to better their communication and coping skills and reduce stress and anxiety. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often are dealing with life changes, toxic relationships or breakups.

She was very relatable and a pleasure to talk to. She was very patient and understanding with my trouble with communication.
