Let's be honest - it's not easy to find queer-friendly, non-Christian therapy in southwest Ohio. If this is what you're looking for, reach out and let's see if we may be a good fit! If my practice is currently full, I'm happy to offer referrals and/or a wait list. My focus is supporting women+, folx on the gender and sexuality spectrums, and people in non-traditional relationships, on the journey of navigating current challenges, unhealed past experiences, and ongoing relationship harm.
Sessions with me explore how YOUR brain, emotions, and body navigate emotions, conflict and trauma. Using curiosity, compassion, and community building, we'll build the emotional literacy and relationship skills that can make your journey gentler.
My 16-year career in journalism, along with decades of social justice and workshop leadership, have taught me that all of us are greater than the traumas we've had to overcome. Let's find more healing together!

It's impossible for anyone to get all of their needs met at all times, especially while growing up in a society that centers profits, not people. We'll explore what got missed or mishandled for you, how that affects your goals and relationships today, and ways to process those hurts so you can live more freely.
