I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with an MA in counseling and art therapy from Ursuline College. I specialize in working with clients in BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities utilizing ACT and Brainspotting. I enjoy engaging clients in various activities in session and work from an approach that is holistic and inclusive.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I embrace the uniqueness in each of us, no matter your background, I value the diversity of each of my clients and as queer identified African American womxn, I know the importance of finding a provider that can relate to your struggles in navigating the world. I believe in utilizing your strengths to build a better quality of life.
I have a warm and relaxed approach to therapy and believe in the impact of spirituality and embracing my client's personal practices. I work from an approach that is holistic and BIPOC and LGBTQ+ centered and through Brainspotting I offer a unique opportunity to process emotions and heal trauma.

My treatment methods
Brainspotting
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.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
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.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
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.
