My Approach

Life doesn’t slow down when you’re feeling anxious, burned out, or stuck. If you’ve been pushing through stress or feel overwhelm for too long, therapy gives you a place to pause, regroup, and move forward with purpose.

I provide telehealth counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions for adults across Ohio. We’ll use practical, goal-focused strategies drawn from CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care

Together, we’ll clarify what matters most, practice tools that work in daily life, and create sustainable change at a pace that fits you.

Why I Became a Therapist

From an early age, I saw how much difference it made when people had someone steady to lean on during difficult times. That shaped a belief I still hold today: no one should have to navigate life’s hardest moments alone.

Later, as I worked through my own challenges and transitions, I experienced firsthand how support and guidance can spark real growth.

Those experiences inspired me to pursue social work and ultimately become a therapist—someone who not only listens but also helps people find a way forward.

Who I Work With

I specialize in helping adults navigate the anxieties of everyday life, from career and financial stress to planning for the future, in a way that’s efficient and down-to-earth.

With over 12 years of experience in diverse mental health settings, I’ve supported adults through different challenges. My focus is on helping people move from feeling “stuck” to becoming more grounded and confident. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and equipped with strategies that make a real difference beyond the session.

What to Expect

People often tell me they appreciate the calm, structured feel of our sessions. Therapy is not about staying stuck in the problem, it’s about identifying what matters most, building skills, and taking steps forward.

All sessions are offered through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms, making online therapy in Ohio accessible from the comfort of your home.

A Little About Me

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Cincinnati. Outside of sessions, I spend time with my family, explore new places, and recharge with hands-on projects like gardening and rehabbing furniture. Those enjoyments help me stay grounded and I bring that same calm, steady energy into our work together.
