Specialties:

Mental Health and Drug/Alcohol Treatment

Accepting new patients

My passion for becoming a therapist started when I took my first psychology class in high school.  I pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Ohio University and a Master's in Social Science and Administration from Case Western Reserve University. In 2021, I became a licensed clinical social worker and joined Firelands Health as a mental health and substance use therapist.


I am very passionate about helping others, advocating for their needs, and challenging them to reach their full potential. I enjoy facilitating group therapy sessions with my substance use clients and am passionate about empowering clients to make their own choices and decisions for their lives.

Areas of Interest

I work with teenagers and adults for both mental health and substance use treatments. I am trained in evidence-based practices for the treatments of depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD/trauma-related disorders, relational/marriage/family issues, and substance use disorders. I work with clients both individually and in group therapy settings. My skills base includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical behavioral Therapy, Client-centered approaches, and Motivational Interviewing skills. I am also trained in the 7 Challenges model, which we utilize here at the agency for both individual and group substance use counseling.
