Let's Connect (419) 597-5296
I join with individuals, couples, and families collaboratively to explore ways to live healthier, more balanced lives. I understand that things such as anxiety, depression, or trauma history can be overwhelming for the individual and family members leading to a variety of symptoms and situational difficulties. I am comfortable working with a variety of difficult topics such as suicidal ideation or self harm and enjoy working with family systems to improve communication patterns and increase positive behaviors and connection in the home.
I am specialty trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is designed to target negative beliefs an individual possesses. These negative beliefs are tightly connected to the symptoms of such diagnoses as PTSD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and bipolar disorder. EMDR is available both in person and virtually.
Are you or a loved one struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma responses? Please reach out with any questions or to set up an assessment today!

I work with individuals who may be suffering from anxiety or depression caused from current situational stressors or historical trauma. During our initial session, I work with clients to get to know their goals and motivations for therapy as well as any expectations they may have in a counselor. I recognize it can be difficult to begin counseling, I strive to make it a positive experience.
