Hola. Bem-vinda! I am originally from Brazil and have been living in the United States for 40 years which means I understand, deeply, what it means to carry more than one world inside you. I hold a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from John Carroll University and have been in private practice since 2010. In that time, I have had the privilege of working with adults from their twenties through their nineties, walking alongside them through anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and grief and loss. I conduct sessions in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, whichever language lets you speak most honestly.

I'm a therapist and Air Force veteran who has spent 9 years helping young people and adults work through anxiety, trauma, and life's harder chapters. I know what it means to

carry things you don't have words for yet. Whether you're a teenager navigating something new or a veteran carrying old weight, you belong here. I'd love to connect.

Thank you for taking the time to read my Profile. I love helping people work through challenging life situations. I will ask questions that allow us to determine the best path toward healing and increased insight for you.

Hello! I am a LISW with a primary focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, and life changes/stressors. I attended The Ohio State University for both my Bachelors and Masters degrees. I enjoy working with many different populations!

Hi there! I am so excited for your therapeutic journey. I received my bachelor of arts degree in psychology and master of arts degree in clinical mental health counseling from Bowling Green State University. I have experience working with teens, young adults, and adults from a variety of backgrounds to meet their needs in becoming the version of themselves they hope to be. My work includes and is not limited to treatment of depression, anxiety, self esteem, self harm, adjustment, identity development and self exploration, relational concerns, and communication. Thanks for reading!

You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.

My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.

As a counselor, former counselor educator, and advocate, I bring decades of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and communities. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, life transitions, employment concerns, disability issues, self-esteem challenges, trauma, and issues related to identity, culture, and faith. I am particularly passionate about supporting African American individuals and families while creating an affirming environment for people from all backgrounds.
