I am an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) through the state of Ohio. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work at Wright State University and graduated with a Master of Social Work through Wright State University/Miami University with a concentration in children & families. I am also a trained EMDR therapist.

I believe wholeness is the essential nature we are all born with. None of us come into the world feeling unlovable, unworthy or undeserving. Inequities,  injustices and trauma pervade our external world. Our individual experiences, environment and the "unknown" may leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed and or struggling to manage our emotions. These challenges can ultimately impact our relationships, jobs and more. It is never too late to heal. No matter what has happened to us, healing may allow us to find wholeness, balance and flip the script of our lives. 

As your therapist, I will partner with you to become aware of the impact of the past, utilize your current strengths, and discover new skills to grow, adapt and thrive. I use a client centered and strengths based approach to support clients in developing their individual goals and objectives. Through various modalities including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and other interventions, we will work to strengthen individual abilities to make decisions and choose behaviors in alignment with your present values and not past struggles. Moving from surviving to thriving allows us to be intentional and present in our daily lives

I strive to build an alliance between the clinician and client by providing a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients are able to explore past challenges and build adaptive coping skills to support healing, clarity and present awareness. I  am passionate about honoring each client's intersectionality through cultural humility, holding space and advocating for marginalized populations impacted daily by social injustices. Through this lens of learning from the client as the experts on their own lives, I endeavor to walk alongside the client in their healing journey.
