I’m often described as someone who is direct, honest, and deeply compassionate. Many of the clients who find their way to me have tried therapy before but left feeling like the work stayed on the surface — that no one was willing to gently challenge them, offer meaningful feedback, or help them look at the patterns keeping them stuck.

My approach is rooted in authenticity and depth. I believe growth happens when people feel both safe and truthfully seen. That means I won’t simply sit back and nod along; I’ll help you notice blind spots, reconnect with yourself, and move toward meaningful change — all while creating a space that feels supportive, collaborative, and deeply human.

How We Will Work Together 

I tailor my eclectic style to your individual needs, relying heavily on your feedback, preferences, and my own clinical insights. I frequently utilize Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you map your inner world, allowing you to identify, accept, and manage your emotions from the inside out. For relationships, I use Attachment-Based Couples Counseling to help partners understand how early life patterns are influencing their current connection and to work on the processes that underlay conflict and disconnection.

Areas of Deep Focus 

I am deeply invested in supporting individuals and couples navigating:

• Perinatal and postpartum mood fluctuations
• Fertility challenges and prenatal trauma
• Maternal and Paternal mental health and the stressors of transitioning into parenthood
• Anxiety, depression, and health anxiety/OCD
• Grief and loss

About Me 

My path to this work is rooted in a lifelong respect for growth. After over 15 years in adult education, I transitioned to mental health counseling to help people on a more profound level. I hold a BA in Psychology, an M.Ed. in Foundations in Behavior Analysis, and an MA in Mental Health Counseling, all from the University of Cincinnati. Along the way, I became a mother and experienced firsthand the beautiful, messy adjustments of a blended family.

I look forward to connecting with you!
