Great to meet you!

I am a therapist who has 19 years’ experience in clinical practice and is licensed in Florida, Ohio, and Missouri.

I received my Master of Social Work in Clinical Practice from Boston College in 2006. I have a diverse work history including private practice, medical social work, psychiatric inpatient care, community mental health, and forensic settings.

I work with adults who struggle with mood symtpoms, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. I utilize various integrative client-centered therapy techniques to help individuals.
