I consider myself the Dolly Parton of mental wellness: all humans are welcome, being clear is kind, and, like Dolly, sometimes we all need a little help navigating life from 9-to-5. I provide therapy in Ohio and Kentucky, and I also offer holistic wellness coaching and integrative psychedelic support to help you explore growth from multiple angles. In our sessions, I tailor the process to fit you—addressing experiences, patterns, or distortions that might leave your cup of ambition dry. With a transparent, solution-focused approach, we’ll work together to create meaningful, lasting change that goes beyond our 50 minutes.

As a therapist and coach I work with diverse clients, including those navigating queer identities and alternative healing methods. My approach is straightforward and infused with a touch of humor, creating a space where authenticity and meaningful progress are the goals.

Therapist

I’m a bilingual therapist working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Many of the people I support feel overwhelmed by overthinking, internal pressure, difficulty managing stress, and the uncertainty of what comes next.

In our work together, I focus on helping you make sense of what’s happening internally and develop practical ways to respond to stress and emotions. I integrate cognitive, somatic, and neuroscience-informed approaches to support both emotional and nervous system regulation.

I believe therapy should feel human. It can be structured but still fit your individual needs. I offer a space where you can show up as you are, while also doing meaningful work that leads to real shifts in how you experience and respond to life.
