About Us

Welcome!

I'm a licensed professional counselor in the state of Ohio with 17 years of clinical counseling experience. I have experience working with a variety of behavioral health issues but specialize in addictions, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. Wellness and nutrition are special interest areas as I believe they are essential components of overall health. I have special training in looking at ways to integrate diet and nutrition in improving mood and mental health (Certified Integrated Mental Health Professional).

My approach to therapy

Online sessions with me have a collaborative approach. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to help empower you to make the best decisions for your overall wellness. We will work together toward your goals as I gently challenge any negative mindsets that might be holding you back.  I use a combination of solution-focused, dialectical, and cognitive behavioral therapies, as well as motivational interviewing styles.

What you can expect from our first session 

I'm relaxed, down-to-earth, and inquisitive. I look forward to learning about you, the people you value, and what you want in life. You will feel heard and understood. I believe you will feel more empowered after our sessions, and I will provide education and additional resources, when appropriate. I also use humor on occasion, because laughter can be very therapeutic-- it often lightens up our moods and helps us keep perspective.
