I am queer, ENM, cis, and multiracial Indigenous. (she/they)

Limited availability: Immediate weekday openings for Relational/Couples Therapy ONLY. (No reduced rate spots available at this time.)

I am queer, cis, multiracial Indigenous (Eastern Band Cherokee), white-passing, and neurodivergent. I bring all of those lived experiences into the work I do and hold myself accountable to creating a therapy space that recognizes privilege, intersectionality, and systemic impact.

If you’re ready to do the work, I’ll meet you there.

This is a space where you’ll be supported, challenged, and equipped with the tools you need to create real, sustainable change in your relationships. I’m here to help you get to the truth of what’s beneath the surface, face it head-on, and move forward, together, to get you more of what you want in your relationship.

My approach is collaborative and rooted in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), where authenticity, personal responsibility, vulnerability and empathy lay the foundation for real meaningful change.

What to expect from me:

- My style is laid-back but active. I’m not a “smile and nod” therapist. I’m engaged, collaborative, and invested in helping you make meaningful progress that sticks.

- I deliver on the expertise you’re seeking—and deserve—from day one, offering practical strategies and tools tailored to your relationship and goals. Think part coach, part therapist.

- I’ll always work as hard as you do. This is a team effort: you bring your expertise on your life and relationship, and I bring mine in relational repair and transformation.

- You’ll get straightforward, respectful feedback paired with curiosity and compassion. I’ll challenge you when it’s needed and stand alongside you as you do the hard work.

All relationship types (from friendships to family to intimate partnerships and beyond)

Gender and sexual/affectional minorities (the whole alphabet mafia!)

I grew up on a farm in conservative rural Ohio. I'm now based in Youngstown. I have two dogs that will likely make an appearance during telehealth sessions. I also have four parakeets and three rabbits.

I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 2018 with a Masters degree. I’m a part of TRANSlate Health Ohio, a community action group focused on improving healthcare for trans individuals.

I use Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and other modelaities to meet the needs of suicidal individuals. I also treat children and teens with trauma with Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). To help adults with trauma, I use narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and evidence-based mindfulness techniques, as well as Predictive Processing Flash. I often use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with clients of all needs - suicidal and traumatized individuals, but also those with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ASD, and more!

My sessions are often solution-focused and are highly collaborative. I want you to meet your goals - the goals that you set for yourself! Our sessions can cover managing emotions, developing social skills, identity exploration, goal setting, resource connection, skill rehearsal, and more.
