I provide personalized, client-centered care for adults, couples, and families, tailoring my approach to each person’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. Many clients I work with are navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or emotional overwhelm. They are seeking healing, healthier coping strategies, and deeper connection in their relationships with others and themselves.
Together, we create a safe and collaborative space to explore your experiences, uncover strengths, build practical skills, and support meaningful change. Therapy is an ongoing, relational process in which we check in, reassess, and work as a team.
I specialize in EMDR therapy for individuals and couples, addressing relational trauma (infidelity, betrayal, abuse, child loss) and healing from childhood and attachment trauma, sexual and religious trauma, and addiction-related experiences. I also integrate CBT, DBT-informed skills, EFT, and relational therapy.
The name Kintsugi reflects my therapeutic philosophy, inspired by the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold. It honors the belief that our breaks and repairs are meaningful parts of our story, not flaws to hide, and that healing is about integration, resilience, and reconnection. Daytime 8a - 3p. No evenings. In-person in Stow, OH. Virtual in OH and FL
