I believe that each of us have been created to live life on purpose, with purpose, and with meaning. Wellness means giving attention to ourselves physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. During the most difficult times in our lives, we can find deficits in our wellness – in any of the above areas. When we are impaired, our functioning is also impaired. As a counselor, my mission is to work with adults, couples, families, and children during the most difficult times in their lives. I am dedicated to empowering you and your loved ones to find “wholeness.”

When you’re experiencing problems with relationships, managing your emotions or thoughts, and falling into old, unhelpful behaviors, it can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work, or you have been apprehensive to start. You can find peace! We can explore how these patterns have developed and equip you with tools to make real changes. It can feel easy to stuff or numb out what’s going on in your head. Through our work together, I can help you gain insight (let’s make those “ah-hah!” moments!) and learn skills to effectively manage your thoughts and feelings, all while wrapped in warm self-compassion.

I have experience in the treatment of individuals and couples with interests in: infertility, sexual addiction issues, sexual health issues, sexual pain, performance anxiety, performance anxiety, problematic sexual behavior, infidelity, interpersonal issues, anxiety, depression, women's health issues, and LGBTQIA stressors.
I chose a career in counseling because I have always had a passion for helping others. I believe patients deserve a safe place to share and work on struggles in all aspects of their lives. During an initial evaluation, my goal is to develop an understanding of what each individual patient is seeking and provide a thorough consultation of how to direct treatment. I completed a Master of Arts in counseling at Ursuline College. I will not be accepting new patients until March 2024.

I became a therapist because I feel that every person deserves someone to show up for them at even the most difficult times in life. It is my true feeling that any person could benefit from an empathetic, respectful, and nurturing environment to process thoughts, feelings, fears, and goals. It is my goal to facilitate the type of environment to best suit the needs of my client by meeting them where they’re at in their healing and wellness journey, and to take that road with them, whatever the pace.
