I believe that everyone deserves a safe, respectful, and judgment-free space to explore their challenges and make meaningful progress toward wellness. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they work toward healing and meaningful change. I am passionate about helping people feel understood, supported, and empowered in their mental health journey.
I completed my Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies at Case Western Reserve University after earning a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from The Ohio State University. My clinical training included rotations in Behavioral Medicine at Cleveland Clinic Lutheran Hospital, Inpatient Psychiatry at the Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and Addiction Medicine at Stella Maris, where I gained experience in medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and withdrawal management. Before PA school, I worked as a Mental Health Specialist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, providing trauma-informed care and crisis support to patients and families.
I enjoy working with people across the lifespan navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and substance use concerns. My approach combines medication management and psychotherapy with genuine listening, collaboration, and motivational support. I want each person I work with to feel seen, safe, and confident in their ability to grow.
