Lee describes themself as unconditionally optimistic, eager to laugh, and humbly personable. Before becoming a licensed independent social worker, their past experiences working in retail, food service, and guest accommodations have given Lee an expansive experience of commonly shared lived experiences; social work. Working collaboratively with clients and using a person-centered approach to therapy is central to the care Lee provides to clients. Lee specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ populations, young adults, trauma-related disorders, poly/kink populations, and those who experience depression, anxiety, substance use concerns.

What an incredible privilege 😍

Columbus Pride was so fun!! I love getting to rep and meet everyone who stopped by 🥰

Don’t forget to support

This year’s Pride Month the message is clear:

Attacks on LGBTQIA+ youth in Ohio are growing. We’re not backing down and we need you with us.

To kick off Pride Month, The Ohio State University removed its entire LGBTQ+ resources page. Pride sponsors are pulling out. Funding is vanishing. And yet, our young people are still here. And so are we.

As we face these challenges, the need for safe spaces, life-saving resources, and affirming support has dramatically increased.

Kaleidoscope Youth Center (KYC) has been here since 1994 being the largest and longest-standing organization in Ohio solely dedicated to serving LGBTQIA+ youth. We provide safer space, affirming programs, basic needs support, and leadership opportunities all powered by community.

This Pride season, your donation isn’t just generous. It’s life-SAVING. It says that when institutions step back, we step up.

➡️ Donate to KYC today. Help us keep showing up for our youth- boldly, unapologetically, and with radical care.
💖 Every dollar helps. Every share matters. Every action counts.

What an evening, honor, and privilege. My greatest point of pride in receiving this award is the kind of work I did with to get it. Gender Affirming Care is life saving, ethical, evidence based, and always worth fighting for.

Thank you to everyone at NASW Ohio for all your hard work supporting social workers and being leaders in our community.
