LISW, 4 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker Clinical Practice (LISW) based in Cincinnati, OH. I received my Masters from the University of Cincinnati and plan to continue my education to the doctorial level soon. I help clients struggling with stress and burnout become the best versions of themselves by using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I also plan to begin a DBT class soon!
Our first appointment is structured as an intense meet and greet! I like to find out what you would like from our sessions, an explanation of your situation, and to discuss a plan and goals you would like to work on together. In exchange, I allow time for you to ask me questions, both personal and professional, so you can get a sense of who I am and how I work.
As a provider, I am very down to earth and holistic. I believe everyone can find their JOY, it just takes a little more work for some. I use humor to help ease tense moments, but also know when to be serious and face some of the harsh realities needed with clients. I also know the difficulties client have when entering therapy and appreciate the trust clients have in me when being vulnerable.
Any age experiencing stress and depression. I work mostly with people on the neurodivergent (High functioning) spectrum and LGBTQPIA+ clients.
