I’m a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in Ohio. As a social worker within the Heart & Mind Wellbeing Center, I offer emotional support and guidance to families navigating their heart care journey. I’m eager to learn from the families I work with because I know they are the experts in their own experiences.

I obtained my Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Michigan with a concentration in Interpersonal Practice: Children, Youth, & Families. I have continuously been inspired by the people I have worked with throughout my career. Prior to working at Cincinnati Children's, I provided mobile crisis response to youth and families. This work provided a unique opportunity to meet and work alongside strong, resilient youth and families, all of whom have inspired me to continue in the mental health field.

I strive to empower patients and families throughout their care using a strengths-based approach. I approach patients and families non-judgmentally and with deep empathy for their circumstances. I build meaningful relationships with families by supporting their resiliency.

In my free time, I enjoy running, hiking, spending time outdoors and exploring local spots!
