Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“New parent support and couples therapy easy to fit into your busy life using secure online video.”

About Me

I understand the juggling act of new parenthood and busy couple life. I offer compassionate online therapy to help you strengthen your connection and navigate challenges from the comfort of your home. My flexible, secure video sessions make support easy to fit into your demanding schedule. We can work together to build resilience and foster calm amidst life's changes.

Approach

To make support truly fit your days, I move at a parenting-friendly pace—shorter check-ins when needed and deeper sessions when life allows—so therapy becomes one less logistical stress. From my Mentor, Ohio practice I meet in private teletherapy in English, scheduling around naps, work breaks, and evening routines to keep access simple. Sessions blend practical experiments, brief mindfulness practices, clear communication exercises, and between-session check-ins when helpful to shift patterns and ease overwhelm. This way of working tends to suit busy parents and couples seeking steady, doable change.
