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'm a flexible, trauma-focused therapist, and believe that gaining understanding of ourselves is essential in cultivating self-compassion and realizing more rest, freedom, and options in our lives. I offer challenge balanced with genuine care, and can integrate a variety of approaches, depending on client needs. I am EMDR trained and yoga certified.
Trust, respect, collaboration, and humor are essential in the therapeutic relationship. I do my very best to move with humility, and I'm dedicated to fostering the most welcoming space I can for clients of all identities, abilities, beliefs, or practices. Please contact me with any questions or to schedule a consultation. I'm looking forward to knowing you!
