Choosing the right therapist to hear your story and support your healing process is a very personal and important decision. I provide therapy that is affirming, holistic, and collaborative, and I create an environment where honest self-exploration and healing can occur. Individuals see me for a range of concerns including anxiety and mood disorders, trauma, grief and loss, and gender and sexuality concerns.

If you need a safe space to talk through daily stressors, or you are looking for someone to partner with you as you dig deeper into that past trauma, I am here for you. I believe that therapy is a place for building connection, and that our connections and relationships are our biggest assets. While there is no magic trick or secret solution to solve all of our challenges, there is value in building a trusting relationship and having a space to share your thoughts, feelings, and fears where you can be met with compassion, empathy, and patience. I am honored to create that space for you to tell your story.

You're out of spoons by 9 am, if you had any at all today. You're constantly vacillating between feeling overloaded and shut down. Your world is too much, and your comfort zone has become your prison; months or years pass before you feel confident enough to take any kind of risk at all. Maybe your pets have become your sole source of social interaction, or you live a rich virtual life and daydream about belonging to an actual in person community who accepts you for exactly who you are (whoever that is!). You want to be the curious master of your own universe, and your fear of change has you tethered to a 10-mile radius.

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.

I am clinical social worker with over 15 years of professional experience. My approach to work has always coincided with my desire to pursue education and travel. I have recently returned to my Ohio roots to locate a private practice that continues to weave together threads related to much older passions such as reading and learning, social connection and community, and personal reflection and pursuits related to the mind and body. At this time, I am most interested in working with adults that feel stuck or are interested in receiving support through points of pain and life transitions.
