I am licensed therapist in Ohio and Kentucky and I provide evidence-based therapy for anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, and relationship patterns that keep repeating — even when you’re doing everything “right.” When life feels overwhelming and you’re not sure where to turn, you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to help you build real-world skills for emotional regulation, stress management, and healthier relationships, while also helping you understand what’s been driving the patterns you feel stuck in. Therapy can help you feel steadier, clearer, and more in control — not by forcing you to “fix yourself,” but by giving you tools, insight, and support that actually fit your life.
