Hello there! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 9 years of experience working with children and adolescents. I received my degree in Social Work from the University of Cincinnati. My passion lies in supporting young people as they navigate the challenges of growing up, helping them build resilience and develop healthy coping skills. I specialize in issues such as anxiety, depression, family dynamics, and trauma. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and use this in my practice when appropriate.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session you can expect brief introductions before identifying what is bringing you to therapy at this time and where you would like to be. Together we will create a plan specific to your needs. I will use a variety of creative techniques in future sessions such as art, play, and talk therapy to help explore thoughts and feelings. I prioritize trust to foster open communication and growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with children and adolescents for the past nine years I have developed exceptional rapport building skills to create a safe space where clients can explore difficult emotions and experiences without fear of judgement.
