Couples therapists in Bowling Green, OH

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a passion for helping couples, families, and individuals, especially teens and women, navigate emotional pain, trauma, and identity challenges with clarity and compassion. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed and holistic approach, recognizing the deep connection between the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.

I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and have experience working with adolescents and adults in both individual and group settings. I specialize in supporting clients struggling with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational difficulties. I also integrate evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused interventions, and practical coping strategies to help clients build emotional awareness, stability, and resilience.

In addition to clinical work, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals rediscover their sense of identity, purpose, and inner strength. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow at their own pace.

The first step toward lasting change is acknowledging that a problem exists, and by taking that step, you have already demonstrated courage. I am honored to walk alongside you on your journey. Together, we will confront the obstacles standing in your way, challenge the beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you, and build practical, effective solutions that create real and lasting transformation. You don't have to face life's challenges alone. Change is possible. Healing is possible. A better future is possible—and it begins with the decision you have already made today.

I have worked in the field of mental health for 35 years and what I have learned is that everyone should to be treated with respect and dignity and also deserves to have a therapist who will partner with them to achieve the outcome they want.

I am open and honest with all my clients. I have an LISW and have work in the mental health field since I was 21, starting with working in direct care in a child residential facility, to a Workshop for intellectually disabled adults, assistant to psychologist who performed psychological testing, to 4 years as a therapist. Personally I am married with 2 wonderful children and prefer to read novels on my free time.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Ohio. I have worked with various populations that range from children to older adults. As a social worker, I want to focus on meeting my clients where they are and become a supportive person.

• I’m in your corner. I’m not here to judge, fix, or control. I’m here to understand, challenge when needed, and help you grow.
• I will tell the truth. Kindly, clearly, and without fluff. Progress requires honesty.
• I value structure and clarity. We will set goals. We will measure movement. We won’t just “vent and vibe.”
• I integrate evidence-based approaches. I lean heavily on CBT and Motivational Interviewing, with EMDR techniques when appropriate. Therapy with me is practical and action-oriented.
• I respect faith. If spirituality matters to you, we can thoughtfully integrate it. If not, we won’t force it.
• I believe people are more resilient than they think. My job is to help you access what’s already there.
• I hold both accountability and compassion. Growth happens in that tension.
• I’m human. I don’t claim perfection. I show up present, prepared, and fully invested in your development.

My passion is helping you find your path and your peace. I have been a licensed clinical therapist for nearly ten years, and love what I do. I truly believe we are all just messy humans, doing the best we can every day. I look forward to meeting you!

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.
