Education and Training:
I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology with a specialization in Human Development and Family Sciences from The Ohio State University. I enjoyed learning at The Ohio State University and decided to get my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) with a specialization in Mental Health and Substance Misuse from there as well. I was a 2023-2024 Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) Trainee at The Ohio State University Nisonger Center. Through this traineeship I have received advanced education and training in neurodevelopmental disabilities such as, ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. I have experience in diagnostic clinic, individual and family therapy, and group therapy. I was also part of the 2023-2024 cohort of The Ohio State University College of Social Work Behavioral Health Workforce Education Training (BHWET). Through BHWET, I participated in advanced education and training for mental health professionals to provide culturally responsive care to support BIPOC and LGTBQ+ individuals and their families. I have experience and am passionate about working with neurodivergent clients and their families, clients with anxiety, depression, and perinatal mental health. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan to create meaningful and lasting change. I appreciate how Restoration Therapy enables clients to understand and change their conflict and communication patterns. This model truly can help clients see and experience their lives and relationships differently. As a therapist I help an individual to identify and address these patterns and emotions that leads to more satisfying relationships and lasting change.
My interests:
I am the definition of the lifelong learner. I enjoy spending time in a good book of any genre; my favorite right now is Lessons in Chemistry. I believe my best days start with a great cup of coffee from the latest trendy coffee shop, especially when it is with a close friend.
