About
Life can be hard, and I believe we all benefit from the extra support counseling can bring. None of us are perfect, but we cannot let our mistakes define us. Life's challenges can make us stronger, and help us get to know our resilient selves.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 25 years of experience as a therapist. As a seasoned clinician, I have worked with diverse populations across the lifespan including adolescents, young adults, couples, and seniors. I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues and many other obstacles we all face. I know how difficult it can be to ask her help; it can be uncomfortable, and requires a great deal of personal courage. I truly feel that it is a privilege to help others endeavoring to navigate life's challenges.
I strive to provide a judgement-free space for my clients to feel seen and understood. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, psycho-dynamic therapy, among others. I believe in building on your strengths to improve your confidence and help you become the best version of yourself you can be.
Again, I commend you for seeking help, and invite you to take the next step by setting an appointment. Our first meeting will be relaxed as we get to know one another. Therapy will go at the pace you are comfortable with. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Cincinnati, OH is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
