My therapeutic approach is integrative, focusing on a person's mind, body, and what brings them a sense of connection to their world.

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.

What I find to be the most rewarding in my work as a therapist is the ability to support others in gaining the confidence to break through mental barriers and overcome life challenges. By becoming more aware of the nature of the mind and our relationship to it, we are able to open ourselves up to the kind of changes we wish to make in our lives.

It would be an honor to travel along with you to guide your healing journey using evidence based principles. I have a certification as a yoga and meditation teacher which I draw from to assist in somatic healing to integrate a mind-body connection through movement as well as the utilization of traditional talk therapies.

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 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 have a special interest in the treatment of anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and have assessed and treated clients experiencing a wide variety of mental/emotional disorders and adjustment difficulties.

I am a Registered Yoga Teacher, Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst, and National Certified Counselor.

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.
