Telehealth Session
I am happy to provide therapy via telehealth for individuals interested in virtual care. I am licensed in the state of Ohio and can only meet with clients who also reside in Ohio.
Therapy doesn’t lose its impact just because we’re meeting through a screen. Virtual sessions can be just as meaningful and effective as in-person ones. You still get the same support, tools, and safe space you need, without the commute. Virtual therapy makes it easy to show up for yourself, right from the comfort of home.
Telehealth may be especially well-suited for individuals with busy schedules, those living in rural or underserved areas, or anyone who feels more comfortable engaging in therapy from home. Telehealth can also be a good option for people who value privacy, flexibility, and the ability to fit sessions more seamlessly into their daily lives.
Traditional Face-to-Face Session
I offer traditional face-to-face therapy in my private office located in Troy, Ohio. For some individuals, being physically present in the same room as their therapist feels grounding, supportive, and more personal. The office setting provides a calm, confidential environment with fewer distractions, which can help clients feel more focused and engaged in the work we’re doing together.
Who Might Benefit From In-Person Therapy?
Those who feel more comfortable building connection and trust in a shared physical space
Individuals who find it easier to express themselves in person rather than on a screen
Clients who prefer clear separation between their therapy space and home environment
People seeking the structure and consistency of coming into an office regularly
Choosing The Right Fit
Some clients prefer the convenience and flexibility of telehealth, while others find walk-and-talk sessions helpful for processing thoughts in motion. In-person therapy offers a different kind of connection and presence. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach — the best option is the one that feels most supportive for your needs and goals.
Sand Tray Therapy
Sometimes it’s easier to show than to say.
Sand tray therapy uses a tray of sand and a collection of miniature figures and objects to give clients another way to express, explore, and process their experiences. Instead of relying entirely on conversation, clients can use the sand and miniatures to create a scene, represent a feeling or relationship, explore a difficult experience, or build a picture of the world as they experience it.
How does sand tray therapy work?
Clients are invited to use the sand and miniatures to create something meaningful to them. Depending on the client and their goals, this might look like:
“Show me your world.”
“What does your anxiety look like?”
“Create a picture of your family.”
“Show me what’s getting in the way.”
“What would you like things to look like?”
Once the scene is created, we can use it as a starting point for therapeutic conversation and exploration. We may talk about what the different figures represent, relationships between objects, emotions that come up, patterns the client notices, or how the scene might change.
The goal isn't for me to interpret the tray for you. Instead, I help you explore your own meaning and perspective.
Who can benefit from sand tray therapy?
Sand tray can be particularly helpful for clients who:
Have difficulty putting their experiences into words
Prefer creative or hands-on activities
Feel uncomfortable with traditional talk therapy
Want to explore relationships or family dynamics
Are processing anxiety, grief, trauma, or other difficult experiences
Want to explore goals, obstacles, or patterns
Benefit from visualizing their thoughts and experiences
And no, sand tray therapy isn’t just for kids! It can be meaningful for children, teens, and adults alike.
For children, sand tray can provide a developmentally appropriate way to communicate experiences and emotions that may be difficult to explain verbally.
For teens, it can create some emotional distance from difficult topics while still allowing them to explore what they're experiencing.
For adults, it can offer a different way to slow down, reflect, and explore thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences that may be difficult to access through conversation alone.
There is no “wrong” way to do sand tray.
Your tray doesn't have to look beautiful. You don't have to know what you're doing. You don't have to be “creative.” You simply choose what feels meaningful to you, and we explore from there.
Walk-and-Talk Session
Walk. Talk. Heal. Step outside and step into clarity.
Walk-and-Talk Therapy sessions move beyond the confines of a traditional office. Located directly behind my private office is the Great Miami River Recreational Trail, providing convenient access to a beautiful outdoor space and walking trail.
What Is Walk-and-Talk Therapy?
Think of it as therapy with a breath of fresh air. During your session, we’ll stroll together, side by side, rather than sitting face-to-face in a room. This relaxed dynamic can ease discomfort and reduce the pressure of making or maintaining eye contact.
Why Choose This Approach?
Unlock what’s holding you back. Nature often helps us loosen up — when comfort replaces stillness, many find it easier to articulate their thoughts and emotions.
Boost mindfulness and grounding. Walking in nature supports present-moment awareness and helps anchor your thoughts and feelings.
Strengthen mind–body connection. Moving your body helps align your mental state with physical energy — a powerful step toward emotional awareness and self-regulation .
Elevate mood and energy. Exercise triggers endorphin release, driving mood improvements, increased energy, better sleep, and stress reduction.
Spark creativity. Many clients report clearer thinking and inspired ideas when immersed in nature. Walking can refresh the mind and invite new perspectives.
Evidence That Walk-and-Talk Works
Research affirms the effectiveness of this approach. Outdoor Walk-and-Talk therapy can help lead to greater improvements in psychological distress, anxiety, and stress compared to traditional sessions. Additional studies highlight enhanced client–therapist rapport, reduced therapy resistance, and an overall more relaxed dynamic.
3 Considerations Before Opting for a Walk-and-Talk Session
Privacy matters. Outdoors, confidentiality isn't as guaranteed as in a private office. It’s important to assess comfort levels and choose quieter routes.
Not ideal for every modality. Highly sensitive work, like deep trauma exploration, may be more effective in a controlled, indoor setting.
Plan for the elements. Weather, safety, and accessibility need thoughtful coordination — for example, selecting familiar or sheltered routes and having a good backup plan.
*** Walk-and-Talk sessions are only available at the therapist’s discretion for follow-up sessions, not initial assessments.
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
You don't have to keep letting anxiety and OCD call the shots.
ERP is an evidence-based form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that helps you gradually face feared thoughts, situations, sensations, or uncertainties without relying on compulsions, avoidance, or other behaviors that temporarily reduce anxiety but ultimately keep the cycle going.
And despite what the name might sound like, ERP is not about throwing you into the deep end. It’s a collaborative, gradual process that happens at a pace that makes sense for you.
ERP is considered a first-line behavioral treatment for OCD. But what about anxiety that isn't OCD?
Exposure-based strategies can also be incorporated into treatment for certain anxiety concerns, including fears, phobias, panic-related concerns, social anxiety, and avoidance. The approach will depend on your specific symptoms, goals, and clinical needs.
What does ERP actually involve?
Anxiety often creates a cycle:
Trigger → Anxiety/Distress → Compulsion or Avoidance → Temporary Relief → Anxiety Gets Reinforced
ERP works to interrupt that cycle.
Together, we identify situations, thoughts, sensations, or uncertainties that are difficult for you and gradually practice approaching them while reducing the compulsive or avoidant response. Over time, you can learn: “I can experience this discomfort without needing to neutralize it.”
What might ERP look like?
ERP is highly individualized. Depending on your concerns and treatment goals, exposures might involve:
Sitting with uncertainty rather than seeking reassurance
Resisting checking or repeated reviewing
Gradually approaching situations you've been avoiding
Allowing intrusive thoughts to be present without performing a compulsion
Facing feared sensations or situations
Practicing tolerating imperfection
Some exposures may feel uncomfortable. That's intentional. Discomfort is not the same thing as danger. Exposures often happen both in and between sessions depending on the situation and what is clinically appropriate. ERP is about learning that you can tolerate discomfort, uncertainty, and unwanted thoughts without having to perform the behaviors your anxiety demands.
Investment
There’s no one “right” way to pay for therapy. What matters most is finding the support that works for you.
Using Insurance: I am credentialed with Aetna insurance plans and partner with Headway, a secure platform that manages the billing process behind the scenes. This allows you to use your insurance benefits with ease while I stay focused on your care.
Private Pay: Some clients prefer to invest in therapy outside of insurance. Private pay offers flexibility, privacy, and freedom from restrictions such as session limits or required diagnoses. It also allows us to focus fully on your own goals, not just what’s covered by your plan.
Both options are valid and can be tailored to your needs. Choosing therapy is already a big step. How you pay for it should fit your life.

$150
Your very first session: we’ll talk through what brings you to therapy, your personal history, and any goals or concerns you’d like to focus on. It gives me the opportunity to learn about you as a whole person, not just the challenges you’re facing, so that I can tailor therapy to best support your needs.

After the initial assessment, our regular sessions will typically be 50 minutes long. These sessions are your time and space to focus on what matters most to you — whether that’s working through current or past stressors, exploring patterns in your life, or practicing new skills and coping strategies.

If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be able to get reimbursed for part (or all) of your sessions. Upon request, I’ll provide you with a superbill (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company.
