About My Clients
I know how hard it is to get through the day without anyone noticing you are struggling. Racing thoughts, thinking everything has to be done at once, feeling paralyzed by how much has to be done in a day, not being able to focus, and feeling like a weight in pulling you down. I work best with individuals who are ready to identify their symptoms, then finding the root cause of those symptoms. Once we identify the cause, I can help you process unhelpful thoughts and/or past traumatic events.
My Background and Approach
Therapy is hard work and I am here to walk you through it. My role in sessions is to meet you where you are mentally and emotionally and assist you in moving a little further towards your goals. I often work with people who are seeing a therapist for the first time in their lives. You can expect to be feel heard, validated, relieved, challenged, and understood. I help you understand how your thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and how to incorporate relaxation/mindfulness techniques into your daily life. I am experienced in working with adults with childhood trauma, survivors of sexual abuse, and parents of trauma victims. When doing this type of work, I often use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and I happy to explain what that process is like.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe every person should be respected and valued regardless of religion, race, orientation, gender, or beliefs. I often encourage clients to find times in their day for self-care, even if it's 30 seconds. My own self-care includes spending time exploring Cincinnati with my husband and son, listening to audiobooks, and day-dreaming of running an animal rescue farm.
