MY EXPERIENCE

Curiosity and a love of learning drive my life and who I am as a therapist.  I became a Licensed Independent Social Worker in the States of Ohio and Minnesota after earning a Masters in Social Science at the Mandel School of Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. 

 

My approach is relational and somatic. I am dedicated to meeting individual needs by incorporating a client-centered and trauma informed approach with evidence based practices. 

 

My training includes a full certification in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, an evidence based modality that helps clients with traumatic memories. I am also a Certified Relational Coach by the Healing Our Core Issues Institute. I have also studied Internal Family Systems and consider inner child work important in creating secure attachment. I seek consultation, supervision and continuing education to provide the best possible outcomes for my clients. 

​

Prior to opening my own practice in Cincinnati, my wide range of experiences include working with adults and teens at a Hilliard, Ohio group practice, Mount Carmel St. Ann's Hospital, the Ohio State University and Ohio Mentor Foster Care Agency.  I also have experience running therapeutic groups and providing trainings.
