Biography
I am a licensed clinical psychologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in treating depression and have expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure-based approaches.
I chose this specialty because I’ve always been passionate about helping people work through their problems. I’m an attentive and active listener, and my patients can rely on me for personalized treatment plans that align with their unique needs and values. I am committed to staying up-to-date on the latest clinical advancements to ensure that each patient receives the best care possible.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, along with making art.
