I have experience working in private practice, hospital settings, and intensive outpatient programs. Additionally, I have years of experience providing group supervision to counselor trainees and new professionals, as well as experience providing individual clinical and administrative supervision.

I also enjoy my role as an adjunct professor in graduate school programs, often teaching classes on ethics in counseling, diagnosis and psychopathology, and clinical evaluation.

I specialize in working with adolescents, college students, young adults, and parents in individual and group settings. I have 5+ years of experience providing clinical care to individuals struggling with mood disorders, behavioral disorders, suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, self-harm, borderline personality disorder, school avoidance, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As a supervisee, I seek to increase your confidence in working with high-risk populations, and utilizing DBT as a therapeutic modality.

I utilize a developmental and collaborative style of supervision to empower supervisees to utilize DBT in their clinical practice. In supervision, I will help you navigate the ethical and legal aspects of the field, engage in role plays, conceptualize cases, and review standards of care. I am available to meet with you as frequently as needed to ensure you are on track toward your licensing requirements. Additionally, I am available for emergency case consultation outside of our scheduled supervision to ensure you are providing ethical care in high-risk situations.

I have served in clinical, administrative, supervisory, and leadership roles in numerous settings, including Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), hospitals, private practices, and agencies. I have numerous years of experience providing individual and group supervision to new professionals and counselor trainees, as well as mentorship to undergraduate and graduate students. Additionally, I am an adjunct professor at John Carroll University and often teach Crisis Intervention, Prevention, & Ethics; Clinical Evaluation; and Diagnosis & Clinical Psychopathology classes. Serving as an educator is a passion of mine, so you will often find me presenting on DBT, ethics, telehealth, and supervision-related topics at state and national conferences. I also serve as a leader in the Ohio Association for Specialists in Group Work and am involved in Ohio Counseling Association. Finally, I am passionate about advocating for the needs of clients in public policy and am often involved in community and state-level organization efforts that aim to increase accessibility to mental health services for clients.
