About My Clients

I work with clients ages 18+. My clients are looking for a holistic therapist who can assist in navigating the sticky parts of life or those who have had Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES).

My Background and Approach

I have experience as a clinical mental health & chemical dependency therapist with 15 years of experience. I received my Masters from Case Western Reserve University in clinical social work. I use evidence based interventions that include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and EMDR. I am a Registered Yoga Instructor (RYT-200) and a Reiki Master. Together we will forge a path of independence, ability, and well-being. I will help you connect the mind and body to release trauma and stored feelings.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Together we will work to learn and practice skills to manage stress, heal trauma, and create a functional lifestyle. I will work with you to create a thriving alliance between your mind and body. I provide holistic care to meet your needs that promotes healing on all levels, body, mind, and spirit.
