I am licensed in both Ohio and Florida -Ohio as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor as well as a certified addiction professional, and a qualified supervisor in Florida. I have more than 20 years of experience in counseling in the fields of mental health, substance abuse, and co-occurring issues. Channeling these early experiences, I have written and self-published the book Humbug to Happiness. The book is an extension of the author, David A Gibbs passionate belief that everyone is entitled and deserves to live a life of happiness! I have worked in multiple settings, including home-based crisis stabilization, private and nonprofit organizations, and private practice. I have presented at both local and national conferences, addressing mental health and substance abuse, and its impact on the communities.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

It is my belief, our collaborative journey, is much like the one our friends from The Wizard of OZ shared. A journey, where they longed to find a place called HOME. I recognize that each of us, at one time or another during our journey felt; alone, different, not good enough or lost. My goal is to empower and guide you to the place you call HOME. Home is knowing - knowing your HEART-knowing your MIND-knowing your COURAGE Together we will recognize you have had it all along! A place called HOME You have made such a tremendous first step - You now rest at the cusp of change or stagnation. A decision to remain in the land of familiar or to be set free to live the life you imagined. Something has called you here. It may be scary and feel daunting, but You are stronger then you know! I am here
