I’ve always had a deep, compassionate drive to help others, a passion that only grew stronger after facing some difficult personal challenges in my teens and young adulthood. It was during my own counseling journey that I discovered how deeply fulfilling it can be to support others through their own struggles, which inspired me to pursue counseling as a career.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from The University of Akron, followed by a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary. I am also an EMDR-trained therapist with EMDRIA-approved training and I hold a trauma certification. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages, including children, teens, adults, and couples. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse recovery, ADHD, OCD, and more. I take a personalized approach to therapy, adjusting my methods to best meet the unique needs of each person I work with.
I work out of the Middleburg Heights location.
Outside of counseling, I’m a wife, mother, friend, sister, and daughter. In my free time, I enjoy reading fiction, riding my bicycle, traveling, working out, drawing, and playing music (piano, guitar, and violin). I also love spending quality time with my husband and our four amazing children, including two sons and identical twin daughters. I’m also honored to be a minister on the pastoral team at my church.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to healing and growth.
