No matter what is going on, you have taken that first step and you have come to the right place.

I serve clients in Ohio, Illinois, and DC. My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to fit each person I encounter. In general, I favor a relational approach that draws from psychodynamic perspectives. I understand how our earliest experiences and relationships can shape us, and I am deeply interested in what your early experiences and relationships taught you about the world. I also draw from third wave CBT modalities in order to assist you in unlearning those early lessons when needed. In this way, you can feel free to reshape living strategies which helped you to survive your past, but which are no longer serving you.

Making that first appointment takes courage. You may feel defeated or hopeless. Your coping mechanisms have sort of worked, but you know you are more than this outer shell. You want to do more than just "survive," and you need a safe place to explore how to get there. My job is to take that journey with you, to help remove self-blame, to foster appreciation for your strengths, and to help you find the answers within. My approach is flexible and my goal is to help you connect to all facets of yourself--body, mind, emotion, culture, and spirit.
