I’m a mental health therapist located in Wilmington, Ohio. I work with clients in-person in my office, or anywhere in Ohio through a HIPAA secure telehealth platform.

I work with adolescents, young adults, and women on issues related to trauma, depression, anxiety, self-harm, grief, chronic illness and pain, caregiving, and other concerns. Additionally, I have further training and experience working with neurodivergence, particularly (but not limited to) autism and ADHD, and perinatal mental health. 

I strive to be social justice oriented, and my practice is affirming of all gender identities and sexual orientations.

In therapy, I generally begin with a person-centered approach, meaning I want to give you what you need in session and my biggest focus is on ensuring that you are heard. Through the course of treatment, I draw from and integrate different approaches including but not limited to:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
  • Solution-Focused Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Neurodivergent Affirming Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
  • Self-Compassion
  • Somatic (body-based) and movement interventions

About my personal counseling style:

  • I will never judge you. We’ve all got parts of us that we aren’t proud of, or things that are hard to talk about. I am a safe person to process these things with, and I will accept you as you are.
  • I will be real with you. I will tell you what you need to hear, even when it’s not what you WANT to hear.
  • I believe in you and I’m cheering you on.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Wright State University, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of Ohio – license #E.2303847.
