Great to meet you!

I became a graduate of Youngstown State University’s Mater of Social Work program while working full-time in mental health crisis intervention (think 9-8-8 hotline). Aside from crisis, I have several years of experience working with adults through individual work. I am a firm believer that all individuals deserve access to the care they need and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect by those who provide it. My therapeutic approach pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

My approach to therapy

My approach is trauma-informed, which means we move at your pace and work to prioritize your sense of safety and support needs. I believe healing happens in connection--through feeling seen, heard, and understood. Whether navigating anxiety, low moods, past trauma, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, we'll work together to help you reconnect with yourself and build the life you want.

What you can expect from me

You do not have to carry everything alone. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where your story is met with compassion and respect. Treatment goals are set through collaboration based on what feels important to you.
