Therapist

Are you in a place where you would like to increase growth, change or wellness in your life? Do you want to identify and understand patterns that continue to happen and make you feel “stuck”? Are you interested in enhancing communication skills, developing stronger coping mechanisms, or processing a difficult time in your life? I'm a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio with experience working with diverse populations and with various mental health issues. I am passionate about helping people gain insight and a sense of empowerment as they navigate transitions and challenges inherent in life. In therapy, I create a safe and open space for you to deepen your awareness of yourself and others so that we can begin to explore the way the stories we tell ourselves impact our mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

I have experience working with adults(18+) families and couples treating a number of concerns including navigating anxiety and depression, addictions, relationship concerns, phase of life issues and changes, stress management, community violence, domestic violence and healing from trauma and codependency. My experience also includes treating substance use disorders, including relapse prevention, treatment diagnosis/education and working with families on psychoeducation and mending relationships. I will work to help you expertly navigate your challenges such as processing difficult emotions, learning healthy coping skills, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself, enhancing your self-esteem, and building satisfying relationships.

I believe in a practical, strengths-based method of treatment. My approach is compassionate, honest, and genuine. I use a strengths-based approach with a focus on overall wellness using cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused techniques and schema therapy techniques to encourage, empower and collaborate with you to assist you in regaining resiliency, to begin working together towards positive change. I would describe my approach as warm, solution-focused, and client centered. You are the expert on You! My goal is to help you heal through a mindful process for a deeper awareness of self and begin to establish new patterns of behavior to help you achieve a greater well-being. Together, we can identify your negative thought patterns, improve emotional regulation and self-awareness while using the strengths we will identify throughout the counseling process. I look forward to working with you!
