Individual trauma therapy and therapy for people living with a chronic illness
Online Therapy in Ohio
Trained for this. Specifically.
If you're living with trauma, chronic illness, or both — you deserve care that actually meets you where you are.
Standard therapy wasn't designed with these experiences in mind, and that's not a you problem.
The good news is that specialized approaches exist that can make a real difference:
Specialized trauma therapy matters. Trauma therapy requires a therapist who understands the science of trauma. The way it lives in the body, and the painful stories trauma tells you about yourself
Chronic Illness isn’t just a medical experience. It’s a grief experience. Identity experience. A relationship experience. A loss-of-self experience.
I combine my experience with my own chronic illness, with the training I’ve received in Somatic Experiencing Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy, to create a therapy space built around your lived experiences, not adapted for them.
I have been working with individuals who struggle with chronic illnesses, trauma, or both for 10 years. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work in 2016 from The Ohio State University.

Trauma therapists hold extra certifications to address where trauma is held in the body, how it changes the brain, and changes the nervous system. As trauma therapists are specially trained, they have advanced awareness as to not re-traumatize clients in sessions.
