Great to meet you!

I have been a licensed mental health practitioner with over 30 years of experience in a variety of settings. I am a certified EMDR therapist and a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP). I am a Buckeye with both of my undergraduate and graduate degrees from The Ohio State University. I work with people coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, work-related stressors and adjustment disorders.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe in starting where you are. We all have problems in living from time to time. I use evidence-based approaches with trauma-informed care, EMDR and CBT. I believe in honesty and non-judgment when it comes to seeking help. I use a collaborative approach in planning what the client wants to achieve and to be their best self. I work with individuals, healthcare professionals, and first responders.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect an engaging, non-judgmental and empathetic atmosphere. Active listening as well as a good understanding of what the client wants to achieve by coming to therapy and a plan to making that happen are the take aways.
