Hi, I’m Toni! I completed my Masters at Case Western Reserve University in 2022. During my time there, I did two internships. One was working in a clubhouse model along side clients to assist them in gaining skills, and the second was a child/teen therapist. While at Case, I received a trauma-informed therapy certification. Since graduation, I have been working as an individual therapist.

As a queer therapist, I am passionate about working affirmingly and supportively with those in the LGBTQIA2+ community–which includes writing gender-affirming letters. When working with clients, I favor using a client-centered approach where you decide what we focus on, because you are the expert of your story.

Specialties:

• Working with children and teenagers

• LGBTQIA2+

• Trauma

• Anxiety

• OCD

• Behavioral Difficulties

• ADHD

The main modalities I utilize are CBT, ACT, and DBT. These are used in an eclectic way; where I pull from other modalities and expressive therapeutic techniques, such as art or play activities, based on client feedback and interests on what they’re finding helpful and supportive. I use a phase-based approach for doing trauma work.
