Biography

My experience spans nearly two decades working with many who struggle to find their way through different life challenges. I will collaborate with you to identify and attain goals. Getting to know you is the first step, and that is achieved through a variety of approaches grounded in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and understanding any types of trauma that may have been experienced. Many have had trauma, and what I have learned is that talking about the details of the trauma is not always helpful. It may be a component of healing, but there may be other ways to make progress. I utilize a combination of approaches to be helpful in working with clients. Some may include person-centered, solution focused, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). I work with ages 18 and up on mental health issues like depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, trauma, communication, and relationship issues. I enjoy seeing a client shift perspectives and report feeling more at peace as they reach their goals.

I have experience in different treatment settings in Ohio and enjoy working with those who have mental health and substance use disorders. I completed my doctorate degree in Counselor Education & Supervision in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy in 2012.

I also bring firsthand experience advocating for medically complex children and their families, which informs a deep understanding of caregiver stress, medical trauma, and systems fatigue. My approach is grounded and shaped by work in high-acuity environments.

I begin by taking time to understand each client's story, goals, strengths, and current challenges. Early sessions focus on building trust, stabilizing where needed, and identifying patterns shaped by past experiences. Together, we develop an individualized treatment plan aligned with the client's values and readiness. Sessions may include skill-building, trauma processing, recovery support, and strengthening emotional regulation and self-awareness, with regular check-ins to ensure therapy remains collaborative and effective.

I use an eclectic communication style and therapeutic approach, tailoring sessions to each individual's needs. I foster a respectful, nonjudgmental environment and value collaborative communication to build trust, autonomy, and strong therapeutic rapport. I believe therapy is a joint effort where clients are viewed as the experts of their lives, and success stems from shared commitment and courage. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand each patient's background, needs, and goals, encourage open dialogue including between sessions, and ensure clients are actively involved in the treatment planning process. My individualized plans are inclusive, goal-driven, and informed by training in evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master's degree in Counseling Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy from Chaminade University in Hawaii. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and provide therapy to individuals, couples, families, and groups.

I have been trained in both EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and SE (Somatic Experiencing), and I utilize these body-focused therapies to help my clients be released from years of painful energies locked in their systems. I have also taught parenting classes, Mental Health First Aid, and provide training on Trauma-Informed Care. In April of 2022, I became a trainer for LivingWorks' SafeTALK program.

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Marist College and my Master's from Fordham University.

Before joining Talkiatry, I worked as a Director of Clinical Services for a not-for-profit in the Hudson Valley Region of New York State.

My patients can expect warmth, kindness, and non-judgmental curiosity. I value understanding each individual deeply, while also empowering them to understand themselves. My approach emphasizes autonomy and collaboration, ensuring treatment reflects each person's own goals and journey. I build trust through reliability, honesty, and authentic care, offering a therapeutic relationship rooted in competence and gentleness. I do not seek to change minds but rather hold up a mirror, offering evidence-based approaches and tools so patients can move toward their own goals. With respect and support, I walk alongside them on their path to healing.

My process begins with a first session dedicated to diagnosis and connection, followed by collaborative treatment planning in the second session. From there, each meeting focuses on healing and growth, with attention to the eight Dimensions of Wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, financial, occupational, environmental, and spiritual.

I bring more than a decade of experience in dual diagnosis counseling within outpatient settings.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who specializes in Sport and Health Psychology. My approach to therapy is collaborative, empowering, nonjudgmental, trauma-informed, and goal-focused. I see therapy as a method to find the individual's strengths to help overcome any hardships.

I integrate treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Existential Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. In addition, I incorporate Sports Psychology in sessions where appropriate, as I believe physical activity can empower us and teach us life skills that boost self-esteem, promote team building, and aid in relaxation. These methods are proven to show reduction in anxiety and depression.

I specialize in treating PTSD among young adults, adults, and/or immigrant populations. I am also skilled in treating mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, grief, emotional abuse, and life transitions. Clients and colleagues have told me that I have a calming presence and am a good listener.

I do not see my role as a therapist as needing to "save the world" or "empower clients." Instead, I believe in working alongside clients to help them identify tools within themselves and community resources to successfully achieve their goals. The types of therapy I offer include, but are not limited to, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Culturally Sensitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Multicultural Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Alongside the use of evidenced-based practices and culturally informed care, I have developed a proven approach for helping clients (a) identify the root cause of their challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

I became a psychotherapist because I believe that mental health shapes and influences various aspects of life. Mental health is considered vital! I have been a Doctor of Social Work since 2021 and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, with experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and adults with concerns such as trauma, substance abuse, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, marital issues, and more. I have extensive experience in various settings including inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), school settings, community-based settings, and emergency departments.
