This journey belongs to you.

You don’t have to keep pushing through anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma alone. Therapy offers a supportive space to make sense of what’s happening inside, learn tools that actually help, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

My Services

  • Experience counseling in nature with walk-and-talk or hiking sessions in Akron, Ohio parks—blending movement, mindfulness, and healing outdoors. Read more about hiking sessions here.

  • You don’t have to stay stuck in the past. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for trauma helps you to heal deeply, feel safe again, and move forward with confidence. Read more about EMDR here on my blog.

  • Trauma therapy helps you gently process past experiences that still affect your nervous system, emotions, or relationships today. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, DBT skills, mindfulness, and CBT, I work at your pace to help your nervous system find safety, your mind regain balance, and your life move forward.

  • Access secure, compassionate counseling from anywhere in Ohio. Online sessions make it easy to fit therapy into your life with the same supportive care.

  • Facing mental health challenges can be tough—but you don’t have to do it alone. This virtual, donation-based group brings together people with similar experiences and offers practical, evidence-based coping tools you can use right away. Join us to feel supported, empowered, and part of a community that truly gets it. Read more about this mindfulness skills group here.
