With over 20 years of experience in the children services field, I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S) dedicated to empowering individuals and families to overcome adversity and build resilient futures. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from Illinois State University and a Master’s degree from The Ohio State University. My practice is rooted in the belief that a person’s past does not define their future. Using evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and challenge thinking errors, develop coping strategies, and rediscover their strengths. My mission is to foster hope, healing, and long-term in the live of others.

Therapist

I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not quite sure where to begin or how to put what you’re feeling into words. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are and feel comfortable being yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, and the general feeling of being stuck or overwhelmed. I especially enjoy working with young adults who are trying to figure out who they are, what they want, and how to navigate all the changes that come with adulthood.
