Meet Your Therapist

With 31 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping children, families, and individuals who have experienced trauma navigate life’s challenges and find a path toward healing and growth.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Ohio University and began my career working in community mental health, where I gained several years of valuable experience serving individuals and families. I later earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from The Ohio State University.

My approach to therapy is interactive, person-centered, and solution-focused. It is important to me to meet you where you are and recognize that everyone’s journey is unique. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and have extensive experience and specialized training in trauma-informed care, including the treatment of complex trauma and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Treatment is tailored to your individual needs, strengths, and goals.

I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and understood. Therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to address challenges, build upon your strengths, and develop practical strategies to support meaningful growth and lasting change. My goal is to help you navigate your healing journey, build resilience, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

Insurance & Scheduling

I accept most major insurance plans, including Medical Mutual of Ohio, Anthem, Carelon, Cigna, Aetna, and The Health Plan.

I believe quality mental health care should be accessible and strive to make getting started as easy as possible.
