Specializing in various mood disorders, trauma, and addiction, I have more than a decade of experience working with individuals from 3 years to 73 years of age. I have worked in various settings from colleges to community mental health, private practice, and inpatient rehabilitation facilities. I currently hold a dual Masters in Clinical Mental Health and Rehabilitation Counseling from Ohio University and am completing a doctoral degree in Counselor Education and Supervision, all achieved while being a single mother of four children. I am living proof that recovery, overcoming, and finding the right people can take you from brokenness to wholeness! As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a supervisory endorsement and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Ohio, I have been actively working in my community since 2014. I have a vast amount of experience working with various populations, training future counselors & social workers, and assisting individuals in recovery from mental health & substance use disorders become peer recovery supporters. It is my passion and my purpose to assist others in not only building a quality of life they long for through healing and recovery, but to also assist those in our profession become healthy, sustainable professionals who provide quality, ethical behavioral health services to those we serve. I look forward to working with you!

I have been practicing with licenses in both mental health and substance use for 4 years. Since my graduation in 2022, I have been practicing at a masters level. I specialize in addictions and generalized mental health concerns. Being a younger therapist, I have a different perspective on life and am able to relate to people in a different way. My approach to therapy is to make people feel comfortable and show them that they’re not alone in the experiences they’re having. I’ve worked in many different settings including outpatient addictions treatment, community mental health, community outreach, and inpatient addictions services. I hold a bachelors and a masters degree in Social Work and am a Licensed Social Worker. I have always strived to be the best I can be at what I do and that lead me to graduating with my nesters degree before the age of 25. I have pushed myself to my limits and have explored my own mental health along the way, giving me a personal level of experience with the daily struggles of mental exhaustion and burn out. I have found my calling in working with those who have felt broken, lost, and utterly alone in this world and providing them with new outlooks, perspectives, and a new drive to reach the goals they want to strive for. With the ethics and values of a social worker, I intend on empowering the people I work with to see their potential and be not only who they want to be, but who they deserve to be. I hope that in working together, we can find the power inside of you to take on your day to day life and find your purpose!
