Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Middleburg Heights, OH


Spring is a time for renewal and what better time to focus on renewing yourself and your life! In my 16 years as a therapist, I've supported many clients to take a new look at their life and to move toward that renewal. While therapy might feel scary at first, my training and support will make it less so. I can teach you skills through therapies including DBT and EMDR that will allow you to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma and more. Your life doesn't have to feel out of control or difficult to manage. I'm here to help. Allow me to walk with you as we work together toward building the healthier life you want and deserve!

Therapist

Evidence-Based Practices are great Words. Real life takes adaptation, acceptance, and attunement.

Partnering with LGBTQIA, Prescribers, and Recovery supports to help patients connect with care for their healthiest self.
