Life at times can feel as if it has already been plotted out, and you didn’t agree to take part in the story. You may find that you have no control over the chapters of ups and downs or that you are pulled along by plot twists and narrative holes.

I am both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Registered Drama Therapist. That means I bring a mix of traditional talk therapy and creative, expressive tools to our sessions. Whether it’s through drama, art, music, movement—or whatever feels right for you—I love finding creative ways to support healing and growth.

Creating balance in mind, body and spirit is my personal and professional mission. For more than two decades, I have provided alternative, holistic, and integrative therapies to complement a variety of psychotherapy modalities to assist clients in finding wellness and balance.

The environment I strive to create in counseling is one of unconditional acceptance and safety. My approach to counseling comes from the Existential school of thought.

I am a trauma therapist and an AASECT-certified sex therapist. I take a sex-positive approach as I help people navigate a wide range of complex issues. I believe that everyone deserves a safe and non-judgmental space to talk about the things that matter to them.

As your therapist, I am here to walk beside you on your journey of healing and growth. I believe we all possess an innate wisdom and capacity for resilience, sometimes clouded by life’s challenges.

As a therapist, I understand that making the decision to attend therapy is often the hardest. I feel the key to overcoming that hurdle is to create an inclusive, non-judgmental, safe, and nurturing environment to allow you to feel comfortable in expressing your authentic self.

I value the involvement of caregivers in my practice to foster secure and positive attachment relationships. I hold a master’s degree in social work from Cleveland State University and I am a licensed social worker.
