My Story

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of Ohio.

I completed a bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Kent State University, and went on to work as a research assistant for Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus. My time in research cultivated my sense of curiosity and interest in helping people. This led me to complete a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and Addiction Counseling at Youngstown State University.

I have a background in community mental health and have worked with people from all walks of life. I have a strong passion for supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and am adept in addressing a spectrum of concerns including ADHD, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, and substance use disorders.

I believe that every person has different needs when they walk in the door, so every counseling experience should be collaborative. My focus is creating a space where people can feel safe and share their concerns without judgment. I embrace the Transtheoretical Model of Change to help clients identify and navigate the changes they're ready to embrace. My practice integrates person-centered principles with techniques drawn from various modalities, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Whether you're looking to speak on your experiences, or develop skills for managing the moment, I look forward to helping you meet your goals.
