As you leave our sessions, I strive to leave you feeling valued, accepted, and heard. It is of the utmost importance to me to build genuine and trusting relationships with clients, as this creates the foundation for healing. Together we will unpack what is getting in the way of you functioning at your best and determine a path forward. I will help you to connect with your feelings, build upon your strengths, reconstruct limiting beliefs, and determine which coping strategies make sense for you. Through our work together, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself and learn to honor your most authentic you.
Prior to joining the practice in 2020, my clinical experience was comprehensive of collegial counseling, residential treatment for at-risk youth, with children and families in foster care, and with adults in long-term care facilities. I currently help clients ages 6+ work through anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, ADHD, difficulty with adjustments, relational concerns, self-esteem, and perinatal mood issues.
I am very much a Person-Centered Therapist, but understand that therapy is not “one size fits all.” I most often incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Strengths-Based Therapy. When working with children and adolescents, I am passionate about finding creative interventions to make therapy fun and engaging, often through art and play techniques.
I earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology from The University of Mount Union and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kent State University. Things that light me up most are being with loved ones, snuggling my two cats, thrifting, *leisurely* kayaking, walks in the metro parks, binging a good show, and live music. I also enjoy learning about all things energy related such as crystals and reiki.
I am excited to learn how I can best support you!
