I’m a licensed Psychologist and certified School Psychologist with extensive training in psychotherapy, testing assessments, human development, and learning.

​

After receiving my PhD from the APA-accredited School Psychology program at Kent State University, I completed two years of advanced post-doctoral training in psychotherapy and autism evaluations at the Center for Autism and the Child Development Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Over the years, I’ve done psychotherapy with adults, teens, and kids; worked in public and private schools around the US and internationally; and taught university graduate students. 

​

In my free time I enjoy working on art projects, spending time outdoors, traveling, and learning languages.
