My commitment to helping others find healing and peace is built on a strong foundation of professional training. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Northwestern University where I completed my graduate work on using ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for the intervention of trauma. I graduated Magna cum Laude in Psychology from The Ohio State University. As a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), I provide experienced, professional guidance grounded in a deep understanding of human well-being.

Beyond my formal education, I’ve dedicated myself to learning advanced approaches that truly help people create lasting change. This includes specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Neurofeedback/biofeedback training in the Othmer Method, Brainspotting, IFS, techniques that honor the important connection between the mind and body (such as Somatic Experiencing), and practical, skill-building strategies drawn from approaches like CBT. Additionally, I’ve been trained in the attachment-based couples therapy Emotionally Focused Therapy. This ongoing learning ensures we can use the most helpful and appropriate tools tailored to your unique needs and path toward clarity and connection.
Currently I am the Director of Research and Development for Dr. Lisa Gold as she brings her groundbreaking model for facilitating ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to life. We are currently completing our first published work together: “Ketamine Curious: Your Ultimate Guide to Understanding Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy”.
