About My Clients
Maybe you’re in a season of change—starting something new, leaving something behind, questioning a relationship, or figuring out who you are in the middle of it all. You may look like you’re doing well from the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or exhausted underneath. I work especially well with young adults and college students navigating relationships, life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, and the pressure to have it all figured out.
My Background and Approach
I don’t believe there is one right way to do therapy. Some days we might sit and talk things through; other days we might map out a relationship pattern, practice something you’ve been avoiding, get creative, move around, or take our work outside. Sessions are collaborative and responsive to what you need. My approach is experiential, relational, and rooted in the belief that our struggles make more sense when we understand the relationships, experiences, and systems that have shaped us. Together, we’ll get curious about patterns you’ve developed to survive, connect, achieve, or protect yourself—and decide which still serve you and which you’re ready to change. I draw from ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and creative and nature-based approaches. My goal is to help you better understand your story, build practical tools, and experiment with new ways of relating to yourself and others.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe we are shaped by the relationships, communities, cultures, and systems we live within—and that our struggles rarely exist in isolation from them. My social work roots deeply influence how I understand mental health: I value anti-oppressive and feminist practice, LGBTQIA+ affirmation, disability and neurodiversity inclusion, racial and economic justice, and ongoing curiosity about power and privilege. I also believe healing can happen through being genuinely seen, known, and connected. Therapy doesn’t have to be sterile or overly clinical to be meaningful. There is room for humor, creativity, movement, art, nature, uncertainty, and being a whole person. Outside of therapy, I’m an artist, musician, reader, gardener, and enthusiastic explorer of the Lake Erie shoreline. I care deeply about community, creativity, the natural world, and making room for ways of living that aren’t solely organized around productivity or achievement.
