I am a master’s level licensed social worker. I have experience working with children, teens and young adults. I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from The Ohio State University. I believe in access to quality mental health care for all individuals. I strive to help all individuals in the healing process by providing comfortable, supportive and nonjudgmental care. I utilize CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), play therapy, motivational interviewing and solution focused therapy to assist clients in achieving their goals and healing.

My theoretical orientation is eclectic and integrative incorporating interpersonal process therapy (IPT) (here and now), psychodynamic, relational and CBT models. I approach therapy from a strengths based approach, focusing on client’s inherent strengths and resiliencies rather than their weaknesses. I also utilize CBT to focus on changing negative core beliefs and cognitive distortions and DBT to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal assertiveness skills. Lastly, I am very relational in my approach in order to provide clients with a corrective emotional experience and holding environment for them to feel safe, secure, empowered and validated.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to help gain insight into what is happening in order to move forward and achieve a more fulfilling and productive life. My goal is to help you understand yourself more and assist you with living a more free and conscious life. I use attachment theory to assist people in understanding how their past impacts their present. I specialize in treating addiction, trauma, codependency, relationship issues, and axis II disorders using a holistic trauma informed approach and dialectical behavioral techniques.

The Sommer Group's philosophical stance is that we hold within ourselves the capacity for change and growth.

Professional help can be critical during this time.

Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage and insight. I am here to help. I have worked in the counseling field for the last 20 years in private practice, treatment centers and in Higher Education. I enjoy helping others work through life situations and difficulties to regain their sense of self and worth. I utilize the treatment modality that fits your personality and comfort level. I bring with me a wealth of knowledge, empathy and a belief that no situation is hopeless.

You feel frustrated, ashamed, and hopeless. You're tired of hearing well-intentioned people give you trite answers to complex issues. Their words feel empty and superficial. You want better for yourself but you've tried everything you know to do. You're on edge and extra irritable and can't seem to figure out why. You think, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I snap out of this?" You may even feel like your prayers are hitting a wall. There is hope and healing available for you. You don't have to face this alone. The path may not be easy but it's worth it.

18 years of counseling experience has taught me that we must examine what is happening beneath your symptoms. Your body holds on to painful memories and the engine inside revs continually until it finally cannot withstand any longer. It emits uncomfortable body sensations and emotions until the pain becomes enough to get your full attention. I'll help you "turn off the engine" of trauma so you can engage a system of thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that help you feel more like yourself again.

Along with talk therapy, I use techniques such as mindfulness, movement, grounding, and breathwork.

I believe that everyone has a unique story to tell and that we go through various seasons of our life. Some moments are joyous and meaningful, and others are unbearably painful and lonely. I am a therapist who values every “page of your book” or every “season,” and believe the more we understand who we are and where we come from, the easier it becomes to connect with our true self and begin to heal. My work is centered around overall health and wellness as well as providing solutions to help you achieve the best version of yourself.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who believes one of the bravest things my clients can do is work to understand their own story. I am dedicated to supporting women and teen girls do just that. I provide my clients an opportunity to grow into the person that they want to be by providing a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. I strive to be attentive to the impact of multicultural factors, and I work toward empowering my clients to make choices that align with the goals they have set for themselves.

Accepting new clients and immediate availability on evenings and weekends!
