I provide telehealth therapeutic services to individuals who are struggling with mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, codependency and boundaries, and much more. I really enjoy working with young adults (18-24yo) who may be struggling with stressors like going to college, starting a job, moving out, identity exploration, school troubles, etc. I also have personal and professional experience that gives me a unique perspective to support individuals who are caregivers of parents/grandparents/relatives with dementia.

I think one of the most important aspects of therapy is having a provider you feel comfortable being open, honest, and authentic with despite the discomfort that may come along with doing so. In the first couple of sessions, I want to get to know you and focus on building a positive rapport. I like to be laid back in sessions and enjoy using humor when appropriate. I use a variety of treatment modalities including Cognitive …Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Schema Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Strength Based Therapy.

A little more about me, I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Columbus, Ohio. I went to school at The Ohio State University for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I majored in psychology, with a minor is human development and family science and Italian (I wish I could speak it now!). I then received my masters in social work. I've worked in a variety of settings including private practice, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, medical social work, and case management. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend and our three dogs, taking walks and enjoying the great outdoors, trying all the new restaurants around town, traveling to new places, and playing Mario Kart on rainy and cold days.
