I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Professional Art Therapist in Ohio. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Oberlin College and my master’s degree from Ursuline College, and am currently training to become a certified Mindfulness Mediation teacher. I have been creating safe spaces for healing since 2010. Drawing upon CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Meditation, Person-Centered, Polyvagal, and IFS, I engage my clients along their paths of healing with a heart for trauma-informed care.

The clients I work with are often intuitive, willing, and creative people who long for a more authentic connection with themselves and others. They often sense a strong desire to feel more completely and wholly themselves, shedding the old-patterned layers of judgment, fear, and shame, to live a more present and authentic life today. This takes courage, grit, and wisdom. Many of the harsh and unhelpful views of one’s self often stem from past experiences which have not been processed and healed. When we heal the original wound, our energy is freed up to be more fluid and present. Wellbeing is not just the absence of pain, it is the experience of feeling safe and seen again.

Together, we will craft a personalized plan to help you feel better, live with greater ease, and show up in your life and relationships in ways that feel true and right for you.…to walk your path with more joy, ease, and clarity. "As we walk on the way, the way appears" - Rumi.

If you’re interested in art therapy, we can weave it into our sessions as much or as little as you like. It’s not just for the fine painters and super-talented artists out there. It’s for all of us! Simply put, art therapy is the use of shape, line, and color to express yourself and explore new insights. No judgment. No expectations. It’s a time to open up to the innate wisdom and creative energies inherent within you. You have an amazing landscape within you.

Here’s to all of us finding a Small Peace of our own.
