I know there is a lot of strife in our world, but there is a lot of good, too.  In the words of Maya Angelou, “no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.”  Remember that problems are temporary and help is available when you need it.  Pl...

We all know that eating healthy and fueling our minds and bodies well leads to improved mental health and overall wellbeing.
But do you realize not everyone has equal access?

Even locally we are seeing the closing or relocation of grocery stores and access to quality food sources diminish in certain areas. Not everyone has transportation, childcare, or financial means to food. There are resources, and being aware of them and helping each other get connected is a great way to support healthy living for all families.

Here in Hubbard, it has been awesome to see the regular presence of the Hubbard Farmers Market , providing access to fruits vegetables and other food items.

Resources in communities across our nation like this matter more than you think.

We're beyond excited to announce Insight's Inaugural Perinatal Health & Wellness Conference, to be held June 11-13, 2027 in Columbiana, Ohio.

Perinatal mental health and wellness is a cause near and dear to us. Not only are we home to over 20 clinicians with perinatal certifications, we are passionate about advocating for and fostering better education, collaboration and community around perinatal mental health.

Come on in✨

Most people don’t wake up thinking, “I need a therapist.” They wake up thinking about the problem they’re trying to solve.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio, I work primarily with motivated adults who are ready to invest in themselves not because they’re “broken,” but because they’re ready for something to change and ready to feel heard and supported.

Therapy is a place to better understand yourself, develop practical tools, and create a path toward feeling and functioning better and receive the compassion support you need through whatever chapter you’re in.

I currently have availability for 1–3 new adult clients, Thursdays only.

✔️ Ohio residents only
✔️ Virtual sessions available statewide
✔️ In-person appointments available as an option

If you’ve been considering taking that first step, I’d be honored to see if we’re a good fit.

Feel free to message me and I will send you the booking link where you can verify if I am paneled with your insurance, and or review out-of-pocket rates and availability. 

Questions? Please ask!

A little availability update for the remainder of 2026:

I have shared with my current clinical clients that my clinical availability will be limited and primarily concentrated on Thursdays only.

My work can look different depending on where you know me from or what role I am being hired to serve in. In addition to my clinical work, I continue to work as a speaker, educator, consultant, coach and of course cant forget my baby The mental health and wellness expo returning in May 2027 :)

A little bit of all the things I love but I am careful to intentionally plan out my availability and capacity so that you get the best version of me when you need me. I like variety but the variety I get to pick. A little bit of variety, I have found, keeps me sharp, inspired, and engaged in the things that light me up.
To think I was once burned out from the work I loved reminds me how grateful I am to do the work I love while still nurturing my growing little family and health. And that balance has made all the difference for me.

If an organization is looking for someone with my knowledge, experience, and expertise, I do still have limited availability for select professional projects, particularly on Fridays as 2026 rounds out.

This could include:

• Speaking at an event or conference
• Developing and delivering a custom learning event
• Providing short term consultation
• Helping develop or strengthen a program, framework, or practical resource
• Joining a podcast or professional conversation

I would especially welcome opportunities to create custom learning experiences for clinical teams using visual frameworks and practical tools if an Organization is willing to host the CE.

If you are interested in Thursday clinical availability or would like to discuss a speaking, teaching, consultation, or creative project for the remainder of 2026, please feel free to reach out.

I hope you all have a great day, and for my friends family and colleagues who continue to mention my name in rooms I am not in- I appreciate you!

Just an FYI- a friend of mine has pointed out my website is down and I am in the process of trying to figure out how to iron out why my site is no longer accessible.

If you or someone you know needs or wants information about me, my services or options to work with me, feel free to email me, message me on my business site, or call me.

I will update everyone once my website is back to being accessible or rebuilt (I know i said I wanted to rebuild my website but this isn't the way I wanted to go about it LOL 😭)

Thank you for your patience in the meantime!
