I am here to support you while you navigate daily challenges and mental health concerns! With a background in psychology and dance, I believe in the importance of a mind-body connection and am passionate about holistic wellness. I particularly approach my work from a lens of complex and developmental trauma. I may be a good match as your counselor if: you want to explore how your past experiences or traumas are affecting you today; you want to be seen and heard without judgment; you feel stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed; you want to feel more safe in an uncertain world; and you want to create a life worth living. I like to explore relational patterns, values, coping skills, and somatic awareness. I integrate cognitive and dialectical behavior therapies, acceptance and commitment therapy, and somatics. Because I value creativity and comfort in our counseling sessions, my approach will be tailored to your needs. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I'm here to walk you through this step. My goal is to create a comforting counseling space where safety, creativity, and humor are valued. If this environment sounds like it could be a fit for you, I would be happy to connect. I accept Ohio Medicaid/self-pay at Oakheart Connections (Dayton, OH) and most private insurances at Positive Perspectives (Springfield, OH). Check out our websites. Please reach out today!
