I am a licensed social worker with 2 + years of experience working with adults, children, and teens. I have worked with a range of mental health needs. I received my Bachelor’s of Social Work from Mercyhurst University and my Master’s of Social Work degree from Roberts Wesleyan University. I am currently dependently licensed and operate under supervision. I work through a private practice called Empowering Oasis. I am currently licensed in Ohio. I have worked with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, sexual abuse/assault, PTSD, and more. I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them throughout their mental health journey. I use a person-centered approach and believe that session time belongs to the client and should focus on the concerns they present. I also incorporate elements of DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and other modalities. I like to create goals collaboratively to ensure clients are addressing the areas that matter most to them. Past clients have described me as a calming presence and have said they feel that I genuinely care about them and their struggles. Many have shared that they feel heard and supported. I firmly believe that clients know themselves best and are the primary agents of change in their own lives.
