Hello

Hi, there.

​

I’ve always been drawn to the stories people carry—the experiences that shape how we see ourselves, how we connect with others, and how we move through the world. I believe that sometimes, what we need most is a place where we can slow down, feel genuinely understood, and make sense of what we’ve been carrying.

​

I earned my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Akron, and I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, couples, children, and families from a variety of backgrounds. My experience as a school-based therapist has been especially meaningful because it has allowed me to see how much our relationships and environments can influence the way we feel and respond. It has also reminded me that behind every behavior, conflict, or difficult moment, there is often a deeper story waiting to be understood.

​

I enjoy helping people explore those stories. Maybe you’re trying to understand yourself better, navigating a difficult transition, feeling disconnected in a relationship, struggling with family dynamics, or simply feeling like something in your life needs to change. You don’t have to arrive with a perfect explanation of what’s wrong. We can be curious about it together.

​

As a therapist, I bring empathy, positivity, and a strengths-focused perspective into my work. I naturally look for the potential in people, even when they may have difficulty seeing it in themselves. I want therapy to be a place where you can be honest about what is difficult while also recognizing the parts of you that are resilient, capable, and ready for something different.

​

My approach is collaborative and relational. I’m not here to tell you who you should be or give you a list of things you need to fix. Instead, I want to understand what matters to you, what you have been experiencing, and what you hope could feel different. Together, we can explore patterns, strengthen communication and relationships, build on your existing strengths, and create meaningful steps toward change.

​

Whether I’m working with an individual, a couple, a family, or a young person, my goal is the same: to create a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself, supported enough to grow, and understood enough to know that you don’t have to do it alone.
