About Me

I am a  licensed independent marriage and family therapist (OH and KY), clinical supervisor, educator, researcher, consultant, speaker, and registered yoga teacher .

 

I am the founder of Our Lineage Our Legacy, LLC, a business focused on promoting individual and collective wholeness and healing through therapy, yoga, education and fostering intentional and intergenerational  relationships

 

I am originally from Akron,OH and graduated from The Ohio State University  with my PhD in HDFS with a specialization in couple and family therapy. ​I believe that people are relational beings made of a combination of physical, spiritual, emotional, social, and mental characteristics that influence our overall well-being and satisfaction. I believe that humans are inherently worthy and operate from a humanistic, strength-based, and intergenerational approach to the use of positive relational resources, options, and opportunities, to help improve people and their relationships and transform and redeem past losses and shame. As a therapist, I believe it is my role to work with the client to co-create goals and help facilitate change while providing practical support and an empathetic connection. I truly care for all of my clients, and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek. Since 2012, I have worked with a variety of clients dealing with circumstances that are unique to their lives.

 

I am trained in Eye Movement Desentization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and incorporate a trauma informed and trauma focused approach in all my work.
