Welcome! I feel honored to have the opportunity to work with others and help them achieve personal growth and healing. I feel passionate about the profession of counseling. You are the expert in your life, but I will walk alongside you as you face the difficult questions and challenges that come with change. My job is to aid individuals in discovering solutions and becoming the best version of themselves.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During your first session, I will introduce myself and explain the counseling process. We will then explore the concerns that lead you to therapy and complete a full assessment of your symptoms, family history, etc. You can share as much or as little as you’d like during this initial meeting, but this is a great opportunity for me to learn about you. The information you provide helps me determine how I can best help your therapy needs be met.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a variety of approaches including Rogerian, Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to offer you the best treatment for your particular needs. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory endorsement in the State of Ohio with 19 years of experience in counseling, supervision, and administration.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders (bipolar), trauma, and those with chronic illness/chronic pain. I work with adults of all ages.
