I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with an MA in counseling and art therapy from Ursuline College. I am also a PhD student in Counselor Education and Supervision at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I specialize in working with adult clients in BIPOC, neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities to explore the challenges that can often come with these identities. These challenges include navigating relationships and boundaries, identity questions, life transitions, anxiety, depression, self worth, and managing neurodivergent and chronic health needs. My ideal clients are those who are motivated for change, introspective, and open minded.

Are you someone who is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about navigating life’s challenges? Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, questions about gender/identity, or lingering effects of past experiences. Or perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself or others, struggle with self-doubt, or find it challenging to manage your emotions in a healthy and balanced way. As a licensed Psychologist at Psychworks Clinic, I provide therapy using interventions grounded in research and best practices.
