Ava joined Youable in February 2026, and has worked in human services since 2022.  As a therapist within our Day Treatment program, she supports her clients and their families through therapy, skill-building, and emotional support.  She has experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a range of clinical settings, from supporting youth in psychiatric care to providing counseling to clients and caregivers navigating serious illness, grief, and loss.  She brings a strengths-based, relational approach and experience supporting emotional regulation, coping skill development, and family engagement in structured treatment settings.  As a clinician, she shows up with consistency, curiosity, and compassion by helping her clients to feel understood and supported, and hopes to encourage confidence, resilience, and a healthier relationship with emotions.

When she is not working, Ava enjoys traveling, exploring the local food scene, listening to music, and playing board games and pickleball.
