As a counselor, I practice child-centered care, providing clinical counseling for children and adolescents. I also work at the Psychiatric Intake Response Center (PIRC) at Cincinnati Children’s, the admission and evaluation center for all psychiatric services. PIRC offers high-quality evaluations and access to mental health services across the entire continuum of care.

In my family, I was the big sister and helped take care of my two younger sisters. I have always known that I wanted to work with kids and to have a large family with kids of my own.

I’m surrounded by children in my free time, including my three kids and three nephews and nieces.
