Biography
Whether you’re new to counseling or have had many experiences with counseling in the past, I recognize that taking the first step toward change can feel daunting—and that’s okay. Whether your destination is near or far, clear or hazy, I will walk with you on this journey. My hope is to provide a space where you can show up 100% you, 100% authentic, and I can do the same. I always say to my clients, “If we’re not being real, what are we doing here?” As we get to know each other, we can collaboratively develop goals and tailor them to fit your needs. Together, we can find the right path for you to meet your goals, anticipate bumps in the road, and work to overcome obstacles.
I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Kent State University. I have worked with clients who have concerns about anxiety, depression, stress, suicidal thoughts, relationship problems, and LGBTQ+ concerns. My approach to counseling is collaborative and open; I’m not here to tell you what’s best for you, but rather, to help you find what’s best for you. I believe that being human comes with a fair amount of anxiety and stress built in, and I also believe that people have a tremendous capacity to cultivate growth. I hope to provide a warm, accepting, and authentic environment for us to grow together.
When I’m not working, I like to read, write poetry, take photographs, spend time in nature, and spend time with friends and family. These activities are my self-care; they help me to slow down and live in the moment as much as possible. I find photography to be especially calming as it requires me to be still and focus on my surroundings. I look forward to getting to know you and learning more about your interests and passions!
