As a licensed social worker with over 18 years of experience in hospital-based care, I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate complex healthcare systems while addressing their unique needs. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Mount St. Joseph and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work at Louisiana State University. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to create effective care plans, facilitated patient discharges, and coordinated vital resources to ensure continuity of care. My current Cincinnati Children’s Hospital role allows me to support patients and families through compassionate care management in an inpatient setting.
My approach to social work is rooted in empathy, empowerment, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and valued. During my work as clinical resident at Mindfully under the supervision of Gregory Pratt, MSW, LISW-S, LCSW, I aim to bring my extensive knowledge of care coordination and discharge planning to the therapy space, helping clients navigate life transitions, access resources, and build the resilience they need to thrive. My experience working with diverse populations has strengthened my ability to address a wide range of challenges, from emotional health to practical life concerns.
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling life, and I am here to guide you on your journey toward well-being. Whether you’re facing life adjustments, managing stress, or seeking a supportive advocate, I’m committed to working alongside you to achieve your goals. Let’s work together to create a path forward that feels meaningful and empowering.
