Biography

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) at the Ohio State, links my patients with community resources and provides short-term mental health therapy with a focus on depression and anxiety. I work with psychiatry and primary care teams at Ohio State University to provide psychiatric, collaborative care management to patients.

My therapeutic approach is interpersonal in nature. I strongly believe in meeting the individual where they’re at, and enjoys assisting them in finding hope, and more fulfilling personal and professional lives. I use relaxation/stress reduction techniques, supportive listening, general coping strategies, goal-setting, behavioral activation and patient education to help my patients grow.

Depending on the situation of the patient in question, I employ such therapeutic approaches as Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Mindfulness and Client-Centered Therapy.

I started in my current position in 2017, after spending 10 years practicing medical social work with a neurological focus. Prior to that, my graduated with honors from Otterbein University with a Bachelor of Art in psychology and completed my Master of Social Work degree at The Ohio State University. Post-graduation, I participated in multiple trainings for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I was inducted into The International Honor Society in Psychology in 2004.
