Experiencing the weight of intense emotions like depression or anxiety is common. There might be a perceived insurmountable distance between yourself and your loved ones. Dissatisfaction with relationships involving parents, children, or significant others is not uncommon. It can sometimes feel like nobody truly comprehends what you're going through. Whether dealing with family or relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other life stressors, therapy can be a pivotal step toward healing.

My work as a therapist is centered around collaborating with individuals facing depression, anxiety, loss, life changes, relationship challenges, questions related to self-worth, trauma, and existential questions. I seek to engage with the individual where they are, allowing them to be their true authentic self that is often hidden from the world. I am passionate about growing a judgement free space to allow each individual to build a path forward, leading to growth and healing.

I have experience working with all types of anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and complex trauma. My secondary specialties include severe chronic mental illness, relationship problems, recovery from previous domestic violence, LTGBQ+ concerns, self-harm, and developmental or attachment wounds from childhood. I continue to take continuing education classes to improve my knowledge and skills in these areas. I especially enjoy working with clients motivated to improve their lives and willing to take responsibility for their success rather than expecting others to do their work.

Hello and welcome! I understand you are tired and overwhelmed with life's demands. Your relationship is not what you expected and no longer feels satisfying or “meant to be.” You're struggling to be the “ideal” parent, or you’re just plain exhausted by all the pressures on you. If you let it, life will put you on an emotional roller coaster! Even if you’re not experiencing turmoil, how do you stay afloat? How do you protect your mind, your heart, or your child, or relationship? You need help to transform those painful emotions into ones that are healing and fulfilling. I accept clients in Ohio, Texas, and Michigan.

I am passionate about helping others work through their challenges and discover their strengths. I believe we already possess what we need but sometimes require others to help us see it more clearly. My approach is to get a full picture of your life and to highlight practical opportunities for growth. Through validation and encouragement, I want to make sure you do not feel alone in your struggles. Instead, I want you to feel supported, capable and confident!

My favorite thing to do as a therapist is to see people heal the relationship they have with themselves so they can build a life that they truly love. The beliefs that we hold about ourselves are at the core of everything we think, feel, and do. When those beliefs are positive and supportive, we move through life generally feeling good and confident in our ability to accomplish our goals, build meaningful relationships, and feel fulfilled. However, when these beliefs are negative, we experience unpleasant feelings like depression and anxiety, and we engage in coping strategies that keep us from the life we truly desire to live.

I bring a curious, direct, and intellectual energy to the therapeutic space. I am a mother to a blended family, a postpartum doula, and a taekwondo enthusiast. I understand the diverse array of individual and familial connections and the complexities they entail.

If you need a safe space to talk through your daily stressors, or your 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 of building connection, and that our connections and relationships, with ourselves and others 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.

As a therapist who lives with ADHD and a mood disorder, I believe it's my duty to walk alongside others as they work to manage the roller coaster of life. Believe me...it's possible. My work with clients centers around the belief that we all possess the strengths necessary to navigate life’s struggles. I believe it is vital to provide an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard, empathic understanding, and authenticity for each person that I am fortunate to work with here. Whether you are longing for change, a new path forward, or to begin your journey toward inner peace, you are welcome here.

Throughout our lives many of us develop defenses and behaviors to survive. We may find in time that these ways of survival no longer serve us, and our current life goals or circumstances but instead keep us feeling trapped. Our once understandable attempts to avoid pain may have left us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Your true self is not your survival strategies.

I'm not sure I have an ideal client. I believe in meeting a person where they are and moving forward from there. I feel people often come to therapy to help find the best version of themselves. I enjoy helping others find solutions to their problems, helping them identify their strengths, and deciding how to improve their weaknesses.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.

My passions and specializations are working with adults with trauma and stress-related disorders, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I offer a holistic approach to therapy and focus on getting to the root/foundation of issues. I am also proud to be an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

You've been looking for answers for years. You've been told, "it's just anxiety," or "it's just depression," but somehow that doesn't feel right to you. You wonder if you're broken, if there's something wrong with you, if this is just genetic or the way you're wired, and all you can do is manage it. You feel like healthcare professional after healthcare professional just doesn't understand, and they keep giving you coping skills or quick fixes when you really want to understand WHY this keeps happening.
