​

I am humbled to assist you in cultivating a life of healing and navigating challenges. I look
forward to working with you!

Born and raised in Cincinnati, I graduated from Purcell Marian High School and later enlisted in
the United States Army. After serving 4 years in the Army, I attended Xavier University where I
pursued my undergraduate degree. Shortly after, I received my Master’s in Social Work from
Northern Kentucky University in. As a Social Worker I have a background serving children and
families in juvenile court capacity, young adults experiencing homelessness and providing
individual/group grief counseling.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for individuals to
embark on a journey of healing. While I believe you are the expert of your own life, I
understand that we all need assistance and encouragement in navigating life’s challenges. I will
be available to assist you in your change process and encourage you to make healthy decisions
to support an improved quality of life.
