I have spent most of my life working with underserved populations, specifically people with developmental disabilities and youth at risk. I founded an art studio run by artists with disabilities and consulted with many different day programs for adults with disabilities, encouraging therapeutic and creative programming.

 

I have extensive experience working in schools, day programs, partial hospitalization programs, homes, and creative spaces. In sessions, I will often say, ‘this is your story’, meaning that we are working together to write your story the way you envision it.

 

I am an artist and often use art to help you picture the goals you would like to achieve.  I grew up in Upper Arlington, graduated from The Ohio University and have lived in Ohio for most of my life.

 

I identify as female and gay, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I specialize in trauma work, LGBTQ+ issues, adult ADHD, Autism Spectrum, and helping clients build their self-confidence.
