Services
Ohio telehealth therapy for adults, kids ages 8+, teens, parents, couples, and families.
I also offer clinical diagnostic assessment, including ADHD and Autism, within my counseling scope and training. It's a conversation to help us understand what fits, not full-scale psychological or neuropsychological testing. I also help friends, small groups, and organizations work through conflict and change. Relationships and communication are a particular strength of mine.
Ways we can work together
Fees and insurance details are here. For small-group or organizational work, we clarify the arrangement and cost before getting started.
We do not have to just sit and talk.
Creative, hands-on, and made for you
I'm a creative therapist and classically trained musician. I make activities and resources that help us practice, not just talk.
Art, music, expressive work, play- and sand tray-informed approaches, video games, and geek therapy can fit here. They're tools I integrate into counseling, not separate specialty credentials.
Sometimes we process through play; sometimes we talk while playing. Kids, teens, and willing adults are welcome. No artistic talent required, and creative work is always optional.
A place to keep the threads together
I almost always create a digital journal with clients to keep resources, progress, and things to revisit together.
We agree on how it's shared and kept private within your care. It's never created or stored on this public website.
Whatever we use, the point is the same: making the work fit how you actually think, feel, and learn.

Not sure if I am the right fit? That is exactly what the free consult is for.
Fifteen minutes, no pressure, no paperwork. You ask questions, I answer honestly, and if I am not the right therapist for you I will help you find someone who is.
