Counselor, Assistant Professor
Professional Counselor
Department: Psychiatry
I'm committed to providing compassionate and evidence-based care to individuals who have experienced trauma or are struggling with suicidal thoughts. I am trained in Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention (BCBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD (PE), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), and am a certified provider in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (CPT). I provide training, consultation, and supervision in BCBT, crisis response planning, and lethal means counseling. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outside with my two dogs, reading, gardening, or learning new things.

I am a clinical assistant professor in the department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. As a clinician scientist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), I'm passionate about both clinical practice and research. My work with the Suicide and Trauma Reduction Initiative (STRIVE) allows me to directly impact the lives of individuals struggling with PTSD and suicide risk. I am the Director of our R&R program, which provides state-of-the-art psychological treatment for current service members and veterans with suicide risk and/or symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to exposure to military and nonmilitary related traumatic events.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
