I have spent nearly ten years helping children, teens, and young adults feel understood, supported, and capable of real change. I received my bachelors and masters degree in social work from The Ohio State University. I focus on practical skills that help young people manage big emotions, build confidence, and navigate everyday challenges. I work closely with families and individuals to create a welcoming, collaborative space where people can grow at their own pace. My style is down‑to‑earth, encouraging, and rooted in the belief that every person deserves someone in their corner.

I want to share a goal with my clients to create a partnership where clients feel empowered for growth, healing, and positive change. Although I have a traditional office setting offered year round, for those who are interested in a new approach to problem solving, I offer an alternative approach to traditional counseling by linking clients with horses during their sessions. Equine Assisted Counseling or equine assisted therapy, incorporates horses into families, and individual counseling sessions to facilitate emotional growth and learning.

I have ten years of experience providing DBT counseling and art therapy.
Your child is having big emotions, and you're starting to worry about the way they’re acting. It may feel like every day brings a new argument or power struggle, and the connection you used to feel with them seems harder to find. Life is heavy, parenting is hard and it’s normal not to know where to start when things feel overwhelming. You deserve support, and your child deserves a safe place to work through what they’re feeling.

I blend art therapy, parts work, & other therapy techniques to help you feel unburdened, deeply rested, and unapologetically joyful.
Anxious perfectionism shows up as perpetual shame, guilt, and self-punishment. No matter how hard you try, you're always falling short. It's exhausting, but you don't really know how to relax and probably don't sleep welll. Maybe you're a grown-up "gifted and talented" kid, or the child of immigrants, or the sibling who had to keep it together. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension, severe procrastination and indecision, and difficulty with boundaries and people-pleasing. Perfectionists don't do things perfectly—they feel like they ALWAYS have to do better, and they can’t be happy until they get there.

I use a combination of play therapy, art-based interventions, and client-centered approaches to meet each child where they are.
I work with young children, teens, and families who are navigating autism, developmental delays, anxiety, or behavioral challenges. Many of the families I see feel overwhelmed, unsure how to best support their child, or frustrated by systems like school and IEP processes. I help parents and children better understand what’s going on, build practical tools, and create more confidence and connection at home and in daily life.

I use art therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to encourage healthy emotional expression and to help change unhealthy thinking patterns.
When dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma, you may be wondering if there is hope for you or if your life can change. Many counselors enter this field because we also know what it is like to struggle, myself included. My experiences and training have led me to believe that we as people have an incredible capacity for change and healing. If you are ready to make changes in your life or simply need a listening ear, you have come to the right place. Life is hard, but we don't have to do it alone.

Art Therapy
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
