As a psychotherapist, I support individuals and families to accomplish meaningful goals and positive change. As a presenter and educator, I focus on the unique challenges faced by women and couples struggling with infertility, miscarriage, and complicated pregnancies.
I provide therapy to clients going through different life transitions. We work through the various meanings of change, arrive at greater clarity, and take steps towards increasing a sense of happiness and peace. I have found that focusing on clarifying values can helps people increase confidence in their decisions. I provide a space where people feel heard and understood as they consider new viewpoints and perspectives. I help my clients reconnect with their strengths and build on the resiliency that is already present. I believe that we all experience struggle and have vulnerabilities we need to deal with. Every individual is unique, and psychotherapy is a collaborative effort to discover what insights, tools, and coping skills will work for you.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Miami University and obtaining my Master’s degree at Indiana University in Counseling and Counselor Education. I continually seek out opportunities to learn. Most recently, I have been focusing on chronic depression, eating disorders, and further solidifying my knowledge of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
