Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed Counseling Psychologist in Ohio with over 15 years of experience in helping folks enhance their wellbeing. Therapy can be a transformative tool if you're feeling stuck or working toward positive change, and it can support growth, healing, and becoming your most authentic self. If you are wanting support to navigate this journey and improve your mental well-being, I'm here to help!

My approach to therapy

I strongly believe in the idea of "meeting you where you are." My approach blends various therapeutic techniques to create a custom treatment plan tailored just for you, reflecting your unique needs and aspirations. I value incorporating diverse perspectives in therapy, including feminist, multicultural, and existential philosophies, and drawing from narrative, solution-focused, CBT, and interpersonal process therapies. By doing this, we can find the most effective tools to support your journey.

What you can expect from me

Central to our journey is fostering a bond rooted in trust, honesty, and openness. Together, we'll cultivate a secure and safe environment for you to discover yourself and progress towards your desired life. Regularly checking in on your growth ensures we're aligned, and I am ready to fine-tune our approach whenever necessary. I deeply hope our therapy sessions offer you a haven to be your most authentic self.
