Throughout my time in community mental health, and most recently in private practice, I have found that the necessity for community based supports are essential to the growth and sustainability to individuals. As a licensed mental health therapist, I know all too well how important it is for those to receive a holistic approach, with support for all parts of the human existence. This is what drives me to be a member of this excellent non-profit, and advocate for its aims and programs.

I have a Master’s degree in Counseling and Human Development from Walsh University in North Canton, OH, and have worked in a variety of capacities related to mental health – from early childhood consultation, adoption assessment, community based skill building programs, and finally as a private practice therapist. I am licensed to provide therapy in Virginia and Ohio, and center my treatment of individuals around trauma, depression, and anxiety.
