I am passionate about engaging with the community, especially around the critical topic of mental health. Many parents struggle to discuss mental health, both their own and their children’s, and I strive to equip them with the tools to have open, honest conversations. This passion drives my involvement in community engagement initiatives and my work with COPBH’s social media channels, where we share valuable resources like "Snack Break Storytime" and "Thoughts for Parents to Consider."

I am proud to be part of COPBH, a practice rooted in the values of honesty, integrity, respect, and transparency. These principles guide not only our therapeutic relationships but also how we operate as a business. Our mission is to grow and serve a broader community without losing sight of what makes us unique—a personal, family-friendly approach to pediatric and adolescent mental health.

I am always available for discussion, resources, or collaboration, and I welcome connections and meaningful dialogue. I believe in the power of relationships, both in therapy and in the broader community, and I am eager to connect with others who share a commitment to mental health and well-being.

As a dedicated therapist with a deep commitment to empowering families and individuals, my work is centered on fostering genuine, trusting relationships. At Central Ohio Pediatric Behavioral Health (COPBH), we provide comprehensive mental health care for children, young adults, and their families, addressing a wide range of concerns that people face today. I personally specialize in working with individuals dealing with challenging or defiant behaviors, ADHD, anxiety, sleep concerns, and challenges related to high-functioning autism spectrum disorders. My approach is strength-based, focusing on what’s going well in a child’s life and leveraging those strengths to overcome challenges.
