About My Clients
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you do not have to face it alone. I strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment where clients can openly share their experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and move toward healing and personal growth. I have worked with many individuals dealing with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and even OCD.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed social worker with 2 + years of experience working with adults, children, and teens. I have worked with a range of mental health needs. I received my Bachelor’s of Social Work from Mercyhurst University and my Master’s of Social Work degree from Roberts Wesleyan University. I am currently dependently licensed and operate under supervision. I work through a private practice called Empowering Oasis. I am currently licensed in Ohio. I have experience working in schools, Partial hospitalization programs, and community mental health. I have worked with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, sexual abuse/assault, PTSD, and more. I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them throughout their mental health journey. I use a person-centered approach and believe that session time belongs to the client and should focus on the concerns they present.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I don't believe that there is a limit to growth. I know it can be hard to open up to a stranger about vulnerable experiences or topics and that is why I strive to create a strong relationship with clients and supporting environment to help make them feel comfortable. Past clients have described me as a calming presence and have said they feel that I genuinely care about them and their struggles. Many have shared that they feel heard and supported. I firmly believe that clients know themselves best and are the primary agents of change in their own lives. I understand that the therapeutic relationship is important and that together we walk side by side on your journey and work together.
