Biography

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) working with a wide variety of client presentations. I primarily work with the young adult population and have extensive experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and phase of life concerns at my private practice in Sandusky. First responders and medical professionals are a population of great interest to my work. In addition to my therapy practice, I am a wellness consultant and build customized programming for individuals and organizations, with an emphasis on workplace wellness. My research throughout my doctoral program was on the incorporation of therapy dogs for healthcare workers, offering a new option for workplace wellness initiatives. As a dog trainer and therapy dog handler, I greatly value the human-animal connection and hope to continue building on this specialization. 

My areas of teaching currently include lifespan development, abnormal psychology, clinical psychology, and advanced seminar on therapy dogs.
