BIG NEWS! I’m currently teaching Improv for Anxiety online!
Feeling confused, enraged, or anxious in our increasingly frenzied world?
When we become overwhelmed by our feelings - anger, fear, sadness - we may feel cut off, like something is missing, or as if we are just going through the motions and feeling disconnected or “numbed out”. Recovery from chronic stress/complex trauma means understanding past experiences while developing the skills to live in the present. Mindfulness-based experiential practices help us nurture self-acceptance, a sense of safety and calm so we can explore unhealthy patterns and reactions from long ago that keep showing up in our relationships.
Mind Body Connection
Having trouble sleeping? Frustrated by chronic pain? Stress shows up in your bodily sensations and in your attitudes about yourself and the world around you. If untreated, these symptoms may wire themselves into our nervous systems and become routine. I can show you how to manage your emotional and physical symptoms using your body's own internal resources.
Purpose and Meaning
Life's BIG questions: What is my purpose? Is this the life I want? Am I the best version of myself? I can collaborate with you to achieve your goal of living a healthier life, filled with deep connections to others, explore paths to fulfillment, and to understand yourself and your place in an increasingly complex world.

Feel like everywhere you look things are falling apart in America? You're not alone. Our society is experiencing the psychological impact of a collective trauma. The American Psychological Association widely agrees that America's mental health crisis has reached unprecedented levels with rising rates of anxiety, depression, with 1-in-2 American adults report experiencing loneliness. I earned Master's degrees in Mental Health Counseling and American Culture Studies and taught college courses about our nation's past and present. Learn how to manage your sadness or anger about what is happening in the U.S. and how to find hope again.
Helping people find purpose and meaning in their lives is the foundation of my approach to psychotherapy. My specialized training is spread across broad areas of emotional well-being: creativity and joy; existential dread, and helping people who’ve experienced developmental trauma. If you grew up in a home where there was abuse, addiction, and violence, I am here to help you discover your strengths and resilience using effective, evidence-based techniques.
I offer in-person sessions at my office in Sylvania, Ohio and via teletherapy. I am accepting new clients. I offer 15-minute phone consultations to see if we might be a good fit to work together.
