I am a licensed professional clinical counselor based in Northwest Ohio. I am passionate about creating a space to help people sit with and sort through life’s challenges in a way that feels authentic and supportive but most of all, feels guided to help you reach your fullest potential.

My journey to becoming a mental health counselor has been decades in the making, and just like most things in life, I can look back and see the dots forming ahead before I was able to see the next step on the journey.

I have always been a helper. For me, I feel most fulfilled when I am serving others. While I completed my undergraduate degree in dance education, I knew that I loved connecting with and guiding people through my specialized set of skills. A few years after graduation and teaching dance full time, I felt the need for a change. I began thinking about my next steps and knew that I wanted to continue my career of working with and supporting others… but this time, I wanted to help them heal from the inside out.

With my extensive dance background and my desire to connect with others, I stumbled upon a graduate program that supported both of my interests. I graduated in 2013 with a masters in dance/movement therapy and counseling, which balanced traditional talk therapy and expressive arts therapy together.

After graduation, I moved back to Northwest Ohio and began working almost exclusively with teenagers and young adults. I have always been drawn to this particular stage of life because while there is so much excitement and promise, there can also be uncertainty, pain, trauma and disappointment. It can be challenging to know how to express the thoughts that you’re experiencing and know that they will be received without judgement or criticism. That’s where I come in… to offer you a space to authentically share and heal from whatever life has thrown your way.

By infusing my clinical training with my own lived experiences, I place the highest value on our universal human connection and build from the ground up. All aspects of you are welcomed and celebrated. This is a safe space to bring your whole self in order to begin living a full life.

However you ended up here, I am glad you’re here. Let’s schedule a time to talk about how my services can be supportive to your journey.
