Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my profile and congratulations on taking the first step in your journey to recovery! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a supervisory endorsement (LPCC-S) in the state of Ohio and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I graduated from Youngstown State University in 2013. I've worked in community mental health and substance use for the past 11 years.
In your first session you can expect to be heard. I will provide a safe, supportive environment that will allow you to share your story without judgment. We will work together to discover your strengths and design a plan to assist you in meeting your unique treatment goals.
