My approach to counseling is grounded in empathy, presence, and respect for each client’s unique journey. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and I feel honored to walk alongside them as they share their stories. I strive to create a space where clients feel truly seen and heard, meeting them exactly where they are each day.
I take a person-centered approach, drawing from Gestalt and existential theories to support clients in exploring meaning, identity, and self-awareness. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, and I am passionate about creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can speak freely. I welcome individuals from all walks of life and am excited to work with a diverse range of clients.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Baldwin Wallace University, where I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I also hold an Associate of Liberal Arts degree and an Associate of Science degree from Cuyahoga Community College. As a counseling trainee at Holding Space, I am gaining clinical experience as I work toward obtaining my LPC licensure.
In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, painting, and spending time with my family, friends, and pets. I plan to continue my education with a focus on eating disorders and art therapy. My long-term goal is to become independently licensed and open a private practice.
I look forward to connecting with you!
