Is it getting harder and harder to pretend everything is “fine”? The anxiety, worry, and dread keep piling on, and it feels like the pressure of all your responsibilities might just crush you. Despite the things you’ve achieved personally and professionally, you’ve never felt “good” enough, and you worry you’ve somehow managed to fool everyone around you. Maybe something has changed recently at work or at home, or maybe something from your past continues to come up, despite your best efforts to leave it behind. All you know for sure is that you’re exhausted, and you can’t keep living like this.

Life is not always easy. If you are struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression you are not alone. NIMH studies show that 43.5% of the US population will experience at least a mild anxiety disorder sometime in their lifetime. In my experience, I have seen that there are countless factors that contribute to our mental health. My focus is on the whole person. Together we will explore your biography as well as your biology. We will unpack your life story to discover a path to feeling healthy and strong again. I would consider it a privilege to listen.

One of the hardest things to do in life is change, especially if you have been made to feel that your mind, body, and lifestyle are inherently wrong. But you don't have to do it alone. The bravest thing you can do in life is reach out for help. And I'm here to do just that. This is your life. You deserve to know yourself, be yourself, and control your own future. As a neurodivergent affirming therapist, it is my privilege to help Autistic, ADHDer, and other neurodivergent people overcome trauma and live their best lives.

I am now accepting new clients! I know how difficult it is to obtain great relationship help or individual services. Ohio has a long wait list also for these services. I have also heard story after story about what happens when clients do not go to correct option. With marriage and relationships, everything is on the line. I also know folks are struggling individually. Relationships bring true satisfaction and are the core to wellness. I help with the entire continuum of friendship to intimate relationships. The couples program now has 25 years of success.

My ideal client is an individual who is open to working as a team and benefiting from a therapeutic relationship in which honesty, accountability, and empathy are paramount. While a client’s concerns are unique and personal, there is nothing they cannot overcome through effective therapeutic interventions and a highly-trained and relatable clinician.

You deserve a safe space to explore and understand who you are, beyond the labels and limitations. So often, who we truly are gets lost in the sea of others’ expectations, the roles we hold, and our perception of our capabilities. I work well with adolescents and adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, those who have a wide emotional range, and people who have experienced religious trauma. I am passionate about work rooted in identity exploration; helping you get to know and appreciate your authentic self. We’ll work together to find tools and strategies for that self to grow and thrive.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.

There is a curious habit that I've noticed, especially when working with teens, that clients will mostly only work on the "issue of the week." This can have numerous benefits and can also delay the client's progress on any underlying concerns or patterns. Ideally, once a client has agreed to their treatment goals, they continue to take attainable steps towards that goal in therapy and in their daily life. When a client feels comfortable with their therapist to share their thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities, then deeper work can happen.
