About Me

I earned my Master’s of Social Work degree from the University of Kentucky in Lexington, with a specialization in clinical social work. During my clinical training, I provided psychotherapy services for adults and adolescents at a private practice.

I focus on helping clients navigate life transitions, internet and pornography addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I strive to tailor my clinical approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

Having previously worked as a website designer, I developed an interest in internet and social media overuse and addictions. I am particularly interested in the impact technology has on our psychological and social well-being, and I assist both adults and adolescents in overcoming addictive behaviors and harmful narratives.

My approach is rooted in compassion, goal-oriented strategies, and collaborative care. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with my clients and accompany them on their personal journey.

Outside of her clinical work, I enjoy drumming, connecting with other musicians, cooking, and exploring new trails and cities.
