About My Clients
I am passionate about advocating for client wellness within their unique sociocultural context. I am competent in working with a diverse population, including those who are part of marginalized communities. I believe that mental health is a life-long pursuit of health and healing, and everyone has the right to growth and support. I value providing a safe space for clients who identify as LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, disabled, and neurodivergent.
My Background and Approach
I received my LPC licensure from the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. I have received a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from the University of Toledo. I completed my internship at Zepf Center as a Counselor Intern, and I completed my practicum at the University of Toledo Counselor Center as a Counselor Trainee. During graduate school, I was an active member of Chi Sigma Iota (CSI), the Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society, Alpha Omega Chapter. Throughout my graduate and undergraduate education, I have continually pursued experiences to broaden my clinical lens in different settings, including in-patient/residential, nursing and rehabilitation, hospice care, community mental health, and private practice.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Imagine feeling confident and equipped to handle life’s challenges, even when they feel overwhelming. Therapy can help you navigate difficult emotions, heal from past experiences, and build stronger connections with yourself and others. Whether you’re feeling stuck, navigating a tough season, or ready to take steps toward meaningful change, I provide a supportive and affirming space. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals (teens and adults) facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship struggles. Together, we’ll create a path forward that feels right for you. When we think of emotions as weather, we realize we can’t avoid storms—but we can prepare for them. Therapy provides tools like an umbrella, helping you stay grounded and resilient even when life feels heavy. I am passionate about helping individuals improve communication, heal from the past, and build tools to create lasting changes.
