Hey there! :) I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory distinction (LISW-S) based in central Ohio. I received my MSW from The Ohio State University and have been practicing for a decade. I began my career working as a trauma specialist for children in Treatment Foster Care and adoptions in inner city Columbus as well as my second job working in Worthington, Ohio for a private agency helping children, young adults, and families create balance in their homes and in their lives.

I work with older adults and/or caregivers about the aging process, adjustment and the many changes associated with growing old and all the grief and loss experienced at this time in their lives. I also work with all adults on a variety of issues and concerns: depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and others.

Life can become messy and difficult which leads to feeling frustrated, confused, anxious, overwhelmed, or even burnt out.

As a parent it can be so frustrating to feel lost when it comes to handling your child’s emotional outbursts or difficulty staying focused throughout the day. When these behaviors occur frequently in a child’s life, whether due to ADHD, anxieties, or difficulty handling big emotions, children can begin to feel like something is wrong with them, that they can never do anything right. Maybe your teen is struggling with worry or anxiety, feeling exhausted by the pressure of school or perhaps a history of trauma. Seeing their pain causes parents to feel weighed down by guilt.
