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 shepherding stories into the world. Over time, I found myself a craving deeper connection with others (off the page!) and began to wonder if there was a way for me to put my listening ears to work in a new way.

Through my own experiences with therapy, I realized how much insight can be gained from having access to quality care and I wanted to create a space for others to explore, grow, and ultimately heal. While I loved the energy of the big city, Ohio has my heart so I headed back to the Midwest to pursue a new path — one that I’m glad has crossed with yours!

I am an advocate for library cards, snail mail, and getting as much fresh air as possible. You can usually find me enjoying coffee with a friend, taking long walks with my dog Birdie, porch hanging with my family, and reading with my daughter. I find joy in the small rituals of daily life and crave a slower, unplugged, more intentional pace, which can be difficult to achieve in our busy world. You can trust that I am learning to find a balance 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.
