(she/her)
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10+ years experience. I obtained a Masters in Social Work from The Ohio State University and specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy to treat symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, low self worth, past trauma and PTSD. Clients will gain new coping skills to challenge negative thinking patterns and learn how to adjust reactionary trauma coping styles. I value honest direct discussions in the therapeutic relationship and look forward to working with you.
In our first session together my goal is to ensure I understand your pain points, impressionable experiences in your life, and what you want you want differently today. Past experiences can teach us many things and we can use that to pivot onto new skills and understandings of how to challenge and break these cycles. We will discuss strengths, symptoms of concerns and opportunities for intervention to determine our next steps. You will leave our first appointment with an intention and plan for your second step in therapy. The first step is the hardest part- deciding you want something different and scheduling an appointment to get started.
As a provider, my biggest strength is fostering independence in navigating stressors and improving self-worth for clients. I am direct and honest with each client about the interventions and what their experience will be like in this process. I am confident in guiding clients to challenge themselves to take the next step in improving their lives. I understand that not everyone starts at "change" mode and needs time to contemplate and evaluate the options of what route they want the next months to look like for themselves. Therapy is a process and I navigate the gas and break pedals well with clients understanding when stress can be added with new behaviors or challenging perspectives and when it needs to be paused to take time to recover and relax to prepare for the next step.
If you find yourself feeling alone, worried, confused, unhappy or numb you are matched with the correct provider. I am seeking out clients that are ready to take this first step together challenging unhealthy coping habits and work towards a healthy and happier lifestyle. I utilize a variety of learning styles to help clients apply skills learned to present life. I help clients build confidence and obtain clarity to achieve the lifestyle they want and deserve.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been utilizing CBT modalities for 8+years effectively treating depression, anxiety and life stressors. This approach helps client gain skills and confidence to cope with past and present stressors independently. I customize these interventions for each person to achieve treatment goals. This type of therapy has been most effective in reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms as well as boosting self worth and experiencing the positive feelings of achievement or contentment. Clients recognize changes in their day to day lifestyle and perspective.
