My background is in Psychodynamic / Psychoanalytic Therapy with over 5 years of formal training. I am currently a candidate to become a certified Psychoanalyst through the Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute. I enjoy helping others navigate their inner world and come to a better awareness of the internal conflicts they are facing. I believe that our unconscious thought processes guide most of what we do and the decisions we make. A better awareness and understanding of how our development influences this can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling life. My own experience in therapy has shaped my desire to share it with others.

I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and have openings for this short term treatment utilizing bilateral desensitization to help alleviate somatic and visual symptoms of acute trauma. This approach is often very beneficial in conjunction with longer term psychotherapy.
