about quin o.

Life throws curveballs — big ones, weird ones, slow burns, total avalanches. Maybe you’re grieving, starting over after a divorce, trying to figure out who you are post-kids, post-career, or mid-quarter-life crisis. Maybe nothing dramatic happened, but you still feel kind of lost. I work with people in those in-between moments — the transitions, the identity shifts, the “what now?” parts of life.

I especially love supporting women and young adults who are digging into identity work, trying to figure out what actually fits them instead of what’s just been handed down or expected. I also work with couples who want to improve communication and feel more like a team again — whether that’s through navigating conflict, rediscovering connection, or learning how to actually talk to each other (without rolling eyes or walking away).

I practice therapy through a Virginia Satir lens, which basically means I believe deeply in the power of congruence, open communication, and helping people become more aligned with their truest self. I’m not here to “fix” you — because, frankly, I don’t believe you’re broken. My job is to help you figure out your way through whatever you’re facing. You don’t need me to tell you what to do. You just might need some space, reflection, and a therapist who’s not afraid to crack a joke now and then.

Therapy doesn’t have to be scary, stiff, or overly serious. You get to be your full self in the room — and I’ll show up as a full human, too. I’m not a blank slate, and I don’t think healing happens in one-way conversations, I’m also not afraid to sometimes be blunt and tell it how it is.  I believe in building a real, authentic relationship in the therapy space. We’ll laugh (sometimes), be authentic (hopefully always), and work together to help you feel more at home in your own life.

I hold a Master of Arts in Couple & Family Therapy from Adler University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Missouri, with minors in Criminal Justice and Ancient Mediterranean Studies. When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m probably reading something on my Kindle, playing with my cat Teddy, or driving way too far away for the perfect matcha or coffee.
