Life is full of challenging phases, decisions, and transitions. You’re the expert on your life and only you can identify and work towards your identified goals. If you know some of your behaviors, choices, or relationships aren't working for you and are ready for a different perspective, some new skills and ways of thinking, you’re ready for therapy. I enjoy working with a variety of clients; from young adults navigating school, career, relationships, and identity to older adults seeking to better utilize their age-earned strengths and talents.

Seeking help for your mental health can be intimidating, which is why it is essential for you and I to find common ground and discover your strengths to create a sense of security. Therapy will be a collaborative process between you and I, where you are the expert of yourself and your relationship. I encourage vulnerability, but only when it feels safe to do so. Together we will bring awareness to how the problem is affecting you so that we can identify creative solutions and take steps toward your goals. I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2019 with a Master's of Social Work.
