Hello and welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. Before becoming a therapist, I taught graphic design at a local community college and worked as a cosmetologist to put myself through school—experiences that inform my creative and grounded approach to therapy. I specialize in working with individuals facing challenges related to relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, guilt, shame, trauma and substance use. My therapeutic approach draws from an eclectic and relational framework, centered around emotional warmth, attunement, and a deep respect for each client’s unique path. I incorporate a range of interventions, including Brainspotting -- a powerful method that helps access and release trauma stored deep in the brain and body. This tool goes beyond what traditional talk therapy can reach, offering healing at both emotional and physical levels.
