Teletherapy for Ohio

I work with individuals (adolescents and adult). I am experienced in working with a broad range of clients. I have spent the last 4 years heavily focusing on helping those with TRAUMATIC STRESS related to family of origin as well as the disease of ADDICTION. In our time together I want to help you work through challenges. Whether it be depression, anxiety, relationships, or even career counseling. I want to help you recover your life!

I serve people who are seeking to heal the ways that trauma has impacted their partnering, parenting, and professionalism. I work with clients to break generational and systemic trauma impacts, to teach what is "normal" in healthy relationships, how to not overreact, and how to stop being "numb" or "overly emotional" so that clients can learn to enjoy life (and believe they are worth having a good life).

Offering telehealth to residents in Ohio and Florida! I truly believe we all have the potential for health and healing. We can't control the world around us, but through therapy, we can gain the tools, healing, and knowledge to live the lives we truly want and deserve. That is my goal as a therapist: to support you in living life how you want to and in the healthiest way possible.

Sick of suffering? Sick of feeling like you've tried everything & no one seems to understand, no one seems to be able to help? Feeling like there is no purpose to keep moving forward in life? Feeling low, anxious & alone! You don't have to be alone. I can help guide you down a path of healing, a path of awakening to the true you! Together, we can find that light within & bring it back to life. Let me teach you how to be free from suffering. Let me teach you how to access your highest potential. I specialize in trauma and addictions (for those actively in recovery.)

Living your best life can be challenging, especially when upsetting and confusing things happen suddenly or continue over time. These stressful events often cause people to feel changed or different than before the stress. You may feel stuck, or that your life has become unmanageable. I will be your guide, your instructor, and your trusted counselor as you develop the strengths you need to work on the deeper issues that may be holding you back. I work well with adults of all ages using a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to help you learn effective skills to calm the body and soothe the mind.

Ready to move forward, but feel like your past is holding you back? Past trauma/abuse can leave you with a negative view of yourself and leave you struggling to connect to others. Along with this, current stress can trigger past hurts, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward. Whether you are leaving a spiritually abusive environment, wanting to heal from childhood abuse/neglect, or leaving a bad relationship, I would love to come alongside you. We can work to retrain your nervous system, release negative beliefs that have been keeping you stuck, and help you find your self and your spirituality again.

Accepting New Clients! We often hear that the only way out is through, but going through our emotional suffering and symptoms to make it out — to have healing and wellness — can feel overwhelming. That’s where I come in. I will provide a safe and accepting environment for you to unpack your layers and understand your experience. I will help you find your inner resources to navigate difficult situations. I provide guidance for learning to identify emotions and feel feelings in a safe and nurturing way. My hope is that you come to know yourself better while you develop agency and confidence in your ability to cope with life stressors.

Do you find yourself continuing to be triggered by life & relationships, no matter how hard you dig for answers or reflect on the past? You want more confidence and clarity in your life, but self-criticism and anxiety seem to always be below the surface. Perhaps you're seeing patterns in your relationships you want to change, but can't seem to translate that insight into a change in how your mind and body respond when you're under stress. Maybe you've been in therapy before, but are still struggling to find lasting relief from trauma, anxiety and relationship concerns.

Calm your body & mind, connect with your heart, discover who you are outside of your childhood programming & trauma. This leads to more peace, confidence, better relationships & often better health. Healing is a journey and ideally we dip into the past just long enough to learn from it and let it go. Living in the present becomes much easier when trapped emotions from the past aren’t always right there waiting to be activated. I offer an open, no-judgement, holistic space for you to bring your truest self, all preferences and spiritualities welcome.

Life can feel exhausting and stressful. Sometimes it all feels like too much, other times you feel like “too much”. The weight of your feelings can be so overwhelming that you cope with substances, food, distraction, or anything else so you don’t have to feel. You desperately want to be understood and need to be supported but you have a hard time allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to truly allow someone in to your world. You can rarely trust yourself, let alone trusting someone else with your deepest feelings. You feel broken and that there is something wrong with you.

You haven’t had it easy. The chaos you experienced from trauma and abuse is now over, but you can’t remember the last time you felt like yourself. You try to get over the past, but before you know it you're reminded of what happened all over again. Anxious and on edge, you do everything you can to help yourself feel okay, but nothing seems to last.

Accepting new clients online. Are you tired of feeling depressed or anxious? It’s exhausting being stressed out, burned out, or overwhelmed. I help people get back on track. You want to feel happy, calm, and more balanced. But, you find yourself tripped up by memories, challenging relationships, or having big reactions to little things. These are common reactions to childhood, workplace, or systemic trauma. If you are a parent breaking family cycles or a burned out helping professional, I specialize in helping people break out of unhealthy patterns and cycles to find a path towards healing. Reclaiming yourself is possible!

Life can seem overwhelming and intense, at times it may feel like the chaos and confusion are too much to bear on your own. Conflicts within ourselves, our spouses, family, friends and children arise, uncertainty of when it will end begins to consume us and starts to feel normal. Sometimes life has felt like this since childhood, carrying a weight that is too heavy, creating patterns and a lifestyle that just aren’t working. Children can experience intense and uncertain feelings, not knowing how to regulate their emotions, or seek out validation can lead to confusion that transpires into adulthood.
