I am a people person who is genuinely interested in your story, culture, and background. I am all about collaboration and building our relationship so you feel safe and comfortable enough to be open, honest, and vulnerable with me. I use an integrative, strengths-based, and client-centered approach to therapy, grounded in empirical evidence and a commitment to lifelong learning. No two therapy sessions are the same; I tailor my approach to your strengths, goals, needs, and feedback. I tend to be direct, empathic, involved in the conversation, and often challenge my clients to consider an additional perspective. 

I invite all people, gender identities, and relationship styles to work with me. I am committed to providing culturally competent and safe care to all populations, especially those identifying with BIPOC, LGBTQUIA+, poly, and kink communities. I recognize my privilege as a white, heterosexual, cisgender female, and I am committed to my own unlearning and relearning. I utilize ongoing consultation that expands my knowledge of the transgender and LGBTQUIA+ communities. I also receive monthly consultation and education around how my whiteness shows up in the room and the impact it has on my clients of color. This unlearning process can be uncomfortable at times, but this work is crucial, and this work helps me show up for my clients in an open, affirming, educated, and understanding way. I am committed to maintaining a judgment-free zone, which is true for all services I provide.

This is my dog Andouille (I am a foodie so, of course, my dog should be named after a spicy sausage!). Expect him to make regular appearances during our Telehealth sessions & meetings.

More Background On Me

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Miami University, with a focus on Developmental Psychology and a minor in Child Studies. After graduating, I lived abroad for 14 months and fell in love with meeting locals and other travelers, hearing their life stories and learning about their families, cultural differences, and varying customs & traditions. This passion to connect with others, my genuine curiosity, my extroverted spirit, and my strong desire to work with people inspired my decision to attend Northwestern University, where I received my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.

After graduating and working towards licensure, I regularly observed how great of an impact work life has on mental health & overall life satisfaction. I started to see clients regularly to help them with burnout, low motivation, high stress, financial strain, and performance anxiety. I believe that a company’s greatest asset is the employee; seeing so many people struggle, I started to question why so many feel undervalued and unhappy at work and became more interested in work culture and organization. This interest sparked my desire to go back to school and get a Certification in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, further highlighting my interest in corporate wellness, professional development, and the work culture consulting world. I want to help find ways to address the root of this problem, before its larger macro-level impact.

I want to combine my interests and help both on a micro and macro level. I want to support the individual and the relationship through their life experiences/stressors, AND I also enjoy larger-scale preventative work that lets me help a greater number of people.
