Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I founded Full Circle Mental Health LLC on a simple belief: therapy should fit your life, not the other way around. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m here to provide a collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can truly be yourself.

While I work with a wide range of life challenges, I specialize in areas that can feel particularly heavy, complex, or isolating to navigate alone:

• Trauma & PTSD: If you are an adult who is tired of just getting by and you feel ready to go deeper than surface-level coping, we can work together to heal the root of your pain and help you reclaim your peace.

• Couples, Premarital & Blended Family Counseling: Whether you are dating, engaged, navigating the day-to-day friction of a long-term partnership, or working through the unique complexities of merging households and building a blended family, I help couples build strong foundations, improve communication, and deepen connection.

• Religious Deconstruction & Faith Transitions: If you are questioning, shifting away from, or leaving a belief system you built your life around, I offer a safe space to unpack the complex, often lonely emotions that come with rewriting your story.

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio, I earned my degrees at Ohio Dominican University and Walden University. I know that every person's story is unique, which is why I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. My toolkit includes advanced, specialized training in the Gottman Method, Bowen Family Systems, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma-Focused CBT.

No matter where you are on your journey, we will work together to find a path forward that feels authentic and manageable for you. Whenever you’re ready, reach out—I’d love to connect.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I look at the web of relationships and environment that shape who you are. I draw on strengths that you may have overlooked (and help you develop new ones) to get you where you want to go.


I have a seasoned background in both faith-based and nondenominational family dynamics. I have had the honor of helping couples and individuals build healthy parameters for their future. If you are at a crossroads -- whether it is a new phase of life (e.g., marriage, job, separation) or you are simply looking for a fresh approach to life -- I can help.


I view each person as uniquely valuable, interesting, and powerful. Because I am so convinced of your potential, I am committed to spending the quality time you need to recognize these traits in yourself and make a real impact in your relationships. Wherever life finds you at this moment, there is a bright path ahead! Let’s discover it together.
