Life can feel overwhelming, and it’s not easy to carry everything on your own. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or challenges with family and relationships, therapy can give you a safe space to pause, breathe, and find relief. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore what’s weighing on you and begin making meaningful changes. Outside of work I enjoy music, reading, and spending time with my loved ones. I enjoy getting to know you and incorporating your personal interests into therapy, helping sessions feel natural, engaging, and meaningful.
I’m a trauma-informed therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting children, families, and adults through life’s challenges. In sessions, you can expect compassion, collaboration, and personalized strategies that fit your needs. Together, we’ll focus on building your strengths and helping you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Taking the first step can feel hard, but you don’t have to do this alone. I’m licensed in Ohio and West Virginia, offering flexible online sessions. If you’re ready to take the next step, click on my website to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. Let’s start working toward the life you deserve.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We will begin by exploring what brought you into therapy and make an individualized plan to help you make progress. CBT helps to look at how thoughts effect emotions and experience. This treatment will help you learn how to improve feelings by pushing back against thoughts.
