Therapist

I have nearly 30 years of experience in private practice, and I bring a warm, down-to-earth style to the work I do with adults and older adults. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology and my master's degree in Counseling Education from Ohio University, and I have spent my career helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life stressors, and women's issues. Many of the clients I work with are used to being the one everyone else counts on, even when their own needs have gone unheard. My goal is to offer practical, compassionate support that helps you feel more steady, understood, and confident as you move through whatever season of life you are facing.
