I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with an MA in counseling and art therapy from Ursuline College. I specialize in helping adults navigate life transitions, self-discovery, relationships, and emotional well-being. As a queer-identified African American womxn, I value the uniqueness and diversity of each client, creating a safe and affirming space for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent individuals. I use Brainspotting, ACT, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients process emotions, heal trauma, and take meaningful steps toward growth.
In our first session together, I will answer any questions you have, explain how therapy works and what to expect, and ask some questions about you to get a good picture of your life and what to focus on in our work together.
My practice is unique because I specialize in working with clients who feel "stuck" or have "tried everything" and are open to exploring new approaches. I provide tools that help clients break free from intellectualizing their problems and dive deeper into emotional healing. I am passionate about this work because I believe in the transformative power of connection and growth. Together, we can help you create a meaningful and rewarding life.
In my practice, I utilize brainspotting with clients who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and other conditions. I find brainspotting to be a dynamic, effective and captivating tool for rapid change. Through brainspotting clients have increased ability for change by making insightful connections on what lies at the root of their problems. Brainspotting is a great tool for those who feel stuck or that they've tried everything and want to explore a different approach to change.
Life doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful! Through ACT I teach you clients how to stop fighting your thoughts and start living your dreams. Through my approach I will take you through activities and exercises to learn how to apply these skills to your everyday life and live a more rewarding life. With my clients we have successfully used ACT to manage and reduce anxiety, depression, chronic pain, stress, and more.
I believe in empowering my clients to identify and build upon their strengths to create positive change in their lives. Through SFBT, I collaborate with clients to explore their goals and develop practical, solution-focused strategies to achieve them. By emphasizing the present and future rather than dwelling on past problems, I help clients envision a clearer path forward and cultivate the resilience and resources necessary to navigate life's challenges. Together, we work towards tangible, sustainable solutions that promote growth, well-being, and overall life satisfaction.
