About Me

I’m a licensed mental health therapist in Ohio specializing in helping high-achieving professionals and caregivers heal from anxiety, burnout, and trauma. Many of my clients look successful on the outside but feel exhausted, restless, or weighed down by old wounds. As an EMDR-trained clinician, I also incorporate IFS (Level 1), CBT, mindfulness to help clients process distressing experiences, release unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with their sense of calm and confidence. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. Who I Work With:    •   Adults (18+) across Ohio through secure telehealth    •   Professionals and caregivers experiencing burnout, perfectionism, and anxiety    •   Individuals healing from trauma, PTSD, or painful life transitions What Clients Can Expect: EMDR therapy provides a structured way to reduce the emotional charge of past experiences so you can feel more grounded in the present. Together, we’ll work to quiet racing thoughts, improve sleep, and restore balance — so you can move forward with more ease and self-trust. Next Step: I offer a free 15-minute video consultation to explore whether we’re a good fit.
