I am happy to invite you to a safe and nonjudgmental space where you are welcome to be who you are. As a therapist, my primary focus is to meet individuals where they are and assist them in developing a sense of security and preparedness to address life’s challenges. My goal is to ensure that all my clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to express and process their emotions, thoughts, and experiences. My current area of specialization is working with children and adolescents, utilizing play and art therapy techniques to assist them in building resilience, self efficacy, and learn to regulate and recognize their emotions in a strengths-based and mindful way. However, I am open and dedicated to working with all populations. I incorporate a range of therapeutic approaches such as Client-Centered, Evidence-Based, Trauma-Informed, and Somatic approaches. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Additionally, I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Triple P Parenting. In 2020, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and English from the Ohio State University. Subsequently, I completed my Master of Social Work in 2024 at the same institution. My background includes crisis management services, individuals experiencing substance use, and working with children and adolescents exhibiting behavioral challenges. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with and empower you to achieve your goals.
