Introduction

I help people who've experienced distressing life circumstances let go of shame, rediscover who they are, and find reasons to smile again. I'm a licensed clinical social worker, EMDR-certified therapist and Usui Reiki Master. I'm licensed to serve clients in both Ohio and Texas with the honor of providing consultation and supervision to other colleagues in my field. I specialize in treating trauma and all of trauma's unhelpful side effects. Chances are, if you have a negative belief about yourself or the world and it's greatly impacting your happiness, there is a wound from your past that needs some care and attention. I'd like to help with that. I use methods beyond traditional talk therapy. If you've found limited symptom relief from talking, I encourage you to consider something new. I use EMDR therapy, expressive arts, IFS informed methods and body-based practices in my trauma-focused work. Trauma impacts our nervous system, storing itself in our cells. My purpose is to help you release that trauma with safety; to help you rediscover your authenticity and live a life with power over your triggers. And I'll provide you with a bunch of tools to take with you along the way. It's of utmost importance to me that you leave your session feeling seen, heard, and valued for the truly unique, worthy and deserving person that you are. You can borrow the compassion I give you while learning to give yourself some grace and compassion of your own. And regardless of which treatment method we choose to embark on together; I start where you are.
