I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Ohio, currently working full-time as a Licensed School Counselor (LSC).

​

My career began as an orchestra teacher, where I discovered my passion for supporting youth. That experience led me to earn a Master’s in both Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling at Youngstown State University. Now, I am dually licensed in Ohio as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed School Counselor (LSC).

 

I have worked as an in-home, community-based therapist at The Buckeye Ranch and also spent six years as a school counselor. I value the strong relationships I build with my clients, and I believe they are the foundation for meaningful growth and lasting change. I have extensive experience helping children and adolescents with school, emotional, and behavioral concerns, and I enjoy partnering with parents and caregivers. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients are supported as they navigate life's challenges.

​

My approach is primarily person-centered, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. I also tailor therapy to each client's strengths and interests (such as play and art) to encourage engagement and growth. I work with individuals ages 5 and older to support a wide range of mental health concerns.
