Youngstown, Ohio, United States
I’m a Licensed Social Worker (LSW, MSW) with over a decade of experience supporting children, adults, and families across hospital, outpatient, and child welfare settings. I specialize in behavioral health and crisis intervention, with a passion for helping individuals navigate complex emotional, social, and behavioral challenges. Currently, I am a Care plan reviewer for OhioRISE and was previously a Behavioral Health Social Worker at Mercy Health, where I completed comprehensive assessments, led psychotherapy groups, and coordinated aftercare plans to support patients in both inpatient and emergency settings. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity of working alongside treatment teams, community partners, and families to support people through some of their most difficult moments. I believe in meeting people where they are, using a trauma-informed and strengths based approach to help them feel heard, supported, and empowered. Whether I’m leading a group session, developing a care plan, or connecting someone to resources, my goal is always to make a real difference in any way
