About:
I am a Licensed Independent Social Work-Supervisor (LISW-S) in the state of Ohio.  I received my Master's Degree in Social Work in 2014 from The Ohio State University.  Prior to focusing on my education, I spent eight years in the United States Army Reserves as a Truck Driver and was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  

My goal as your therapist is to create an open and accepting environment to help you be your authentic, true self.  I want to partner with you to find interventions that fit your needs and help you reach your goals.  I am very passionate and committed to working with you through challenges to help improve your social and emotional well-being.
