I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of Ohio. I received my masters degree from Antioch University. Marietta, Ohio has been my home since 2010. In 2017, I made the decision to pursue a career in counseling to help improve the mental health of youth, adolescents, and adults in my community. I specialize in youth, adolescent, and adult counseling.
In our first session we will get to know each other, begin to develop our counselor / client relationship, and discuss your goals and treatment plan.
The ability to provide support and compassion that facilitates healing and growth for my clients in an empathetic, non-judgmental, non-biased, respectful, and genuine manner.
The counselor / client relationship is key to therapy success. Counseling should not be a “one size fits all” mentality, empowering the client to help lead the therapeutic process is essential.
A CBT approach has been very effective with some of my clients. CBT helps clients identify troubling situations that are causing anxiety, depression or other mental health issues; become aware of how their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are effecting these issues; identify negative and inaccurate thinking; and then reshape their thoughts.
