Hello, I am a dual certified Nurse Practitioner with board certifications in Women's health and Psychiatric Mental health. I work with women, moms, and adults who are dealing with anxiety, ADHD, depression, and the emotional ups and downs that come with stress, life changes, or motherhood. Many of my clients feel misunderstood, easily triggered, or frustrated with how their emotions are affecting their relationships, focus, or daily life.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and have worked in the mental health field for over 25 years. I would love the opportunity to work with you in achieving your personal growth goals. I like to think of my work with clients like sitting down with an old friend over a cup of coffee and having a conversation. Most of my previous clients have found me very easy to talk with and to form a connection with. With my life experiences and varied work settings, I can generally connect with most people from many walks of life.

Therapist

Virtual • Cincinnati, OH


As a dedicated psychotherapist and life coach, I bring both optimism and expertise to my work. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Bowling Green State University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, and provide compassionate care across all age groups, including children (6+), adolescents, adults, and older adults. As a mindfulness-based life coach, I help clients set meaningful goals, build self- awareness, and sustain accountability through personalized, goal-oriented sessions.

I am the owner of Mindful Metanoia LLC, a space that offers mental health education, meditation, and mindfulness training.

In addition to individual counseling, I offer support to families and couples. While I hold a particular passion for serving Black and Brown communities, my practice is inclusive and welcoming to clients from all backgrounds.

Outside the therapy room, I find joy in gardening, dancing, spending time with loved ones, savoring rainstorms, and exploring art in all its forms.
