Licensed to practice in Ohio and accepts 21 insurances. Specializes in Depression, Life Transitions, Trauma and PTSD and 9 more.
I have worked as a therapist since 2020 and have worked in the Mental Health field in other positions since 2017. I have experience working with all ages (5-60+) in multiple settings: inpatient, community-based, school-based, and private practice. I like incorporating therapeutic techniques in a way that feels like we are having a normal conversation. I want my client's to feel confident to apply things they learn in a way that fits into the real world, not just throw flowery therapy language at you for an hour and see what sticks. Therapy shouldn't be a forever thing - it's a chapter of your life where you learn the tools to help you process what you need to and get moving again. Hopefully I can be a part of that journey for you!
Our first session is a get to know each other session where we complete an initial assessment and create a treatment plan. I'll ask questions to get an understanding of your background history and goals, and give you the chance to ask me questions as well. I don't expect you to share your deepest, darkest concerns with someone you just met and know nothing about - take that pressure off yourself.
Past and current clients have told me I make therapy fun, even when we are working on hard content. I never want someone leaving a session with me feeling worse than when they came in - no matter what we are working on for the day we will find a way to relieve some of the pressure.
I do best with clients age +13. If this is your first experience with therapy or you are a veteran client who has had clinicians at different point in your life I think we will work together well! I do well with client's who are honest about their needs and are patient with the healing process. I am not a wizard who can magically zap all your problems away, but I can help if you are willing to hear me out and meet me in the middle.
