Owner/Director, Clinician

I understand therapy can feel awkward so I like to focus on building rapport with each client I work with to help them feel comfortable throughout therapy. I enjoy helping clients who struggle with anxiety learn how to take back control of their daily life with less worry. I also enjoy guiding clients through a variety of other struggles such as depression, trauma, life transitions, anger, adjustments, school, work, and social issues. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings.

I earned my Masters of Science in Education from the University of Akron with a focus in marriage and family therapy and clinical counseling. I hold additional certifications in neuropsychotherapy, trauma, and anxiety. I use an integrative approach to therapy ranging from using neuropsychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, prolonged exposure, person-centered, solution-focused, structural, psychoeducation, and experiential approaches to meet clients needs. My previous work has been in community mental health, school-based, and private practice settings.

I am a military veteran and I also teach undergraduate and graduate courses as part-time faculty at the University of Akron in addition to providing therapy. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, trail running, playing video games, and sports.
