Pain from the past and uncertainty of the future can make it difficult to navigate life when you are feeling stuck. Therapy provides people with an opportunity to tap into their inner power, strength, and resilience. 

I am an EMDR-trained therapist who draws from an integrative approach to therapy.  I value a collaborative approach in therapeutic relationships, where clients and I work together to achieve treatment goals. In addition, I believe the body is an important source of information that helps us raise awareness of our internal responses, process emotions, and explore relationships. I completed training at the Trauma-Informed Practices and Expressive Arts Therapy Institute, and I use expressive arts and creativity as a modality to facilitate emotional expression through a mind-body connection. Ultimately, I work with clients from a safe space that promotes curiosity, exploration, and reflection, so clients can improve their daily lives.

I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Heidelberg University. Before completing my counseling degree, I graduated from the University of Toledo with a Master of Arts in Sociology in 2016. Earning a graduate degree in sociology has enormously informed my work as a therapist. I deeply appreciate that each of us has distinctive lived experiences. A benefit of therapy is that it allows for evaluating how social factors shape our embodied experiences. 

It takes courage, and it is a powerful thing to take the first step in seeking therapy!  If you are looking for a safe place to explore your feelings, behaviors, and relationships while developing a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I encourage you to reach out for a free phone consultation. I offer evening and weekend appointments.
