My counseling approach is grounded in empathy, presence, and deep respect for your unique journey. I work with clients from diverse populations and with diverse concerns. Through my work with clients, I have developed strong skills in building therapeutic relationships, fostering emotional insight, and supporting clients to develop greater self-awareness and confidence. I advocate for clients both inside and outside of sessions by gathering information, collaborating when appropriate, coordinating care, and connecting individuals with meaningful resources. My work is person-centered, collaborative, and tailored to each individual to promote autonomy, identity development, and meaningful growth.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Baldwin Wallace University and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, having already completed the required coursework for LPC licensure. I hold both an Associate of Liberal Arts and an Associate of Science from Cuyahoga Community College. I developed a research-based assessment measure, “Parenting Style and the Levels of Self-Esteem and Expressivity in the Individual,” using Qualtrics, strengthening my understanding of how early experiences shape identity and emotional expression. I am also one of the founding facilitators of “Virtual Village,” a psychoeducational support group designed to provide connection and community for individuals adjusting to life after welcoming a newborn.
I have experience working with both children and adults and welcome individuals from all walks of life. I offer telehealth and in-person sessions for adults. I encourage children to attend in-person to support skill-building, play therapy, and focused attention.
I look forward to holding space with you!
