Feeling comfortable in our shoes is essential to a creative and self-fulfilling journey and
life. The struggle to reach out for support can be an obstacle that leads to isolation,
loneliness, anxiety, and depression and is often the first and most challenging step to
take. I congratulate you on your courage and willingness to imagine and hope for
changes that will help you be more comfortable in the shoes that you wear!
I have worked as a mental health practitioner for over 40 years and have encountered
many of the challenges that people face in their daily lives. Along the way, I have
discovered my own creative needs and now walk as a transgender therapist willing to
join you as a partner on a path to self-discovery. Giving voice to our hopes, dreams,
and desires is often an essential part of that journey, and I would be glad to join you as
a partner in your self-discovery and growth.

Hello and welcome! I'm a psychologist who has had my practice for almost 15 years. I have previously worked in hospitals, universities, and nursing facilities, but I have found working in private practice is my strength and also my passion. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Hofstra University in 2009, and I moved from NYC to Ohio in 2020. So I get to see patients both in New York and Ohio.

I graduated from The Ohio State University with a B.A. in Psychology. I later attended The University of Maryland, Baltimore, completing a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work and an internship with Johns Hopkins. I have experience serving clients at each level of care, including community mental health, psychiatric facilities, as well as private practice. My experience includes working with anxiety and mood disorders, relationship issues, life transitions, and college mental health.

I believe therapy is a space to find inner peace through courage, curiosity, and compassion. The journey toward peace begins with the willingness to be vulnerable—an act that can feel both brave and frightening. Opening up to another person and turning inward to meet ourselves can stir fear and uncertainty, but it becomes gentler in a space free of judgment and shame. My goal is to create that space, where you can explore at your own pace and begin to reconnect with the parts of yourself that need care and understanding.
With 12+ years of experience supporting those impacted by trauma and other challenges , I use a body-centered, relational approach. I help clients slow down, tune into their bodies, and notice how the past shapes their present. Through curiosity, mindfulness, and compassion, I guide healing and deeper connection with self and others.

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio, passionate about walking alongside clients through the challenges of life.

I frequently support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, emotion management, and relationship concerns. I also offer faith-based counseling for those who want to integrate their spiritual values into therapy.
