Licensed to practice in Ohio and accepts 34 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and PTSD and 10 more.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker who specializes in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient therapy, crisis services, and higher levels of psychiatric care. Many of my clients have experienced complex trauma, grief, difficult relationships, or periods where they felt stuck and overwhelmed. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can heal, gain insight, and build the tools needed to move from surviving to thriving.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and it's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. Our first session is designed to help us get to know one another and begin building a foundation of trust. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, important life experiences, and what you hope to gain from treatment. You are never required to share more than you feel ready to share. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where you feel safe, heard, and supported from the very beginning.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to balance compassion with practical guidance. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space while also helping clients identify patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and develop effective coping strategies. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's needs. Rather than simply talking about problems, we work together to build meaningful solutions that create lasting change. I believe therapy should help you not only understand your experiences but also feel empowered to move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and self-compassion.
I am best positioned to support adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high achievers who appear to have everything together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected on the inside. I frequently work with individuals who have experienced difficult childhoods, unhealthy relationships, loss, or other life experiences that continue to impact their daily lives. My ideal clients are ready to better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are seeking healing from the past or support navigating present challenges, I provide a compassionate space to help you move forward.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. Rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings, ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility so clients can make choices aligned with their values, even during challenging times. I often incorporate mindfulness, values exploration, and practical exercises to help clients reduce avoidance, increase self-compassion, and create a more meaningful life.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals recover from trauma and PTSD. Through CPT, I help clients identify and challenge "stuck points"—beliefs about themselves, others, and the world that developed following traumatic experiences. This process allows clients to reduce trauma-related symptoms, gain a more balanced perspective, and move forward without feeling controlled by the past. I have extensive experience using CPT with survivors of trauma, including military-related and interpersonal trauma.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work collaboratively with clients to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge cognitive distortions, and develop healthier ways of responding to life's challenges. CBT is highly effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many other concerns because it provides practical tools that clients can use both in and outside of therapy sessions.
Gottman method
I utilize Gottman Method principles to help couples improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, and navigate conflict more effectively. My work focuses on helping partners recognize negative interaction patterns, increase understanding, and develop skills that foster trust, intimacy, and friendship. I incorporate evidence-based interventions such as improving communication, managing conflict, strengthening friendship systems, and increasing emotional responsiveness to support healthier and more satisfying relationships. Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover couples insurance so this service is only available with private pay. Couples sessions are 90 minutes long at $120/session.
Grief Therapy
My approach to grief recognizes that loss affects everyone differently and there is no "right" way to grieve. I provide a compassionate space for clients to process the emotional, physical, and relational impacts of loss while honoring their unique experiences. Whether clients are grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, changes in health, or other significant life losses, I help them navigate their grief, find meaning, and learn how to carry their loss while continuing to engage fully in life.
