Sometimes people just need someone to listen - to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be themselves. When people are struggling with hopelessness and helplessness, they also need someone to walk alongside them as a guide toward the solutions that work for their individualized struggles and goals. I work with a broad range of clientele, but I have extensive experience in working with the following clinical populations: eating disorders, substance abuse, individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I had the honor of serving as the director of the counseling center at Columbus College of Art & Design for 10 years before moving into private practice. I especially enjoy working with artists and creatives, queer folks, transgender and non-binary folks, and neurodiverse folks. Some of the treatment areas I've focused on most include PTSD and complex trauma, sexual violence, childhood abuse, dissociation, anxiety and panic, depression, and relationship concerns. I believe in folks’ own natural and innate ability to learn, shift, grow, and heal, and I see myself as a guide or partner in the process. I highly value client feedback.

I am passionate about working alongside people on their journeys to becoming versions of themselves they want and choose to be.I work with clients to identify strengths they already possess, but might not even notice, and then apply those strengths and abilities to work towards their goals and desired changes. I believe a supportive, nonjudgmental space is key to unlocking potential. I use evidence-based interventions from a strengths-based perspective to ensure best outcomes for clients. I believe everyone deserves the space, energy and time to become the person they want to be.I have experience working with adolescents and adults.
