Who am I outside of session?

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to read and write. There’s nothing like losing yourself in a good book and even as a kid, I loved creating stories of my own. After college, I worked in book publishing in New York for a few years helping other people tell their stories. Over time, I grew to crave more personal connections and wanted to do more than just listen — I wanted help people heal.

Through my own experiences with therapy, I realized how much space and insight we can gain from quality care and I became determined to provide this to others. So, I headed back to the Midwest to start grad school and haven’t looked back since! While I loved the energy of the big city, I’m truly an Ohio girl at heart.

I find joy in the small rituals of daily life — making my morning coffee, taking my dog to the park, sending voice memos back and forth to long distance friends, baking banana bread, and gardening under the summer sun. I love the library, Lake Erie, coffee dates, yoga, and quiet mornings. I crave a slower, unplugged, and more intentional pace of life which can be difficult to achieve in our busy world — you can trust that I am learning right alongside you!

My background in communications is foundational to my clinical practice and I believe that healing happens within the context of relationships — with ourselves and others. Connection is key to feeling less alone in this world, unlearning old patterns, and making strides toward a future that feels hopeful and fulfilling on your terms.
