# Welcome to The Unraveling Room. For more than 25 years, I have worked in community mental health, crisis intervention, and hospital-based psychiatric practice. I've learned something along the way: **People are complicated.** I'm comfortable there. Maybe your story includes trauma, bipolar disorder, depression, personality disorders, chronic pain, complex medical conditions, or functional seizures (PNES). Maybe you've collected diagnoses, medications, specialists, and years of therapy—and still feel that no one quite understands the whole story. **You are not a diagnosis.** And you are not a problem waiting for the right therapeutic technique. You are a story. I don't fear your anger. Your intensity. Your contradictions. Your messy history. Or the part of your story you've been afraid to say out loud. **Bring it.** I am an active therapist. I listen deeply, but I also ask questions. I notice patterns. I make connections. I challenge when I believe it matters. We may laugh. We may work on practical skills. And sometimes we will sit together with something neither of us can fix. Medication can be an important tool. Medical care matters. When appropriate, I will collaborate with your psychiatric or medical providers. But **the relationship matters.** Twenty-five years of experience cannot replace what happens between two people in a therapy room. And I am not the therapist for everyone. If you want someone to mostly listen, I may not be your therapist. But if you want someone willing to enter the labyrinth with you—to ask difficult questions, follow unexpected turns, and stay when things get uncomfortable—we might fit. Our lives are patterns woven from countless threads. Some we chose. Some were handed to us. Some held us together. Some became knots. **We don't unravel you.** We unravel the pattern. **Bring your story. Bring the threads.** Let's see where they lead.

With nearly 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges and find healing. As an LPCC, I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family conflicts, and self-esteem issues. I hope to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and valued. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I meet each person where they are while helping them build practical skills, confidence, and greater self-awareness. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I am a certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Perinatal Mental Health.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Josh Kale and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in northeastern Ohio. My background is in clinical mental health and art therapy. I have experience working with children, adults and seniors. My approach to therapy is a friendly, welcoming and creative way. I aspire to be the type of therapist I would want to meet with. Someone who is kind, caring, creates a safe space and takes time to actively listen without judgement. I am a therapist who is encouraging, understanding and willing to challenge you in a helpful way. I look forward to working together with you...

I offer a warm, compassionate, and grounded space where you can feel understood and supported as you work through anxiety, overwhelm, relationship stress, and long‑standing patterns that no longer serve you. My approach is flexible and collaborative—I tailor each session to your needs by blending CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, acceptance‑based work, and mindfulness strategies. Together, we’ll identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, build present‑moment awareness, and uncover old behaviors that may be interfering in your current life. Clients describe my style as calming, validating, and practical—I offer both insight and actionable tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your path forward.

Hi, I’m Chelsea. I’m a licensed therapist with over 7 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, and everyday feelings. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in person-centered care, I believe therapy works best when you feel truly heard, understood, and supported. I integrate practical tools with compassionate conversation, helping clients better understand themselves while building skills that create meaningful, lasting change.

Hello, I am a professional counselor who works with adults of all ages. My goal is to help you grow by discovering your personal strengths.

Hi, I’m Brittany, an LISW in Ohio, wife, and mom of three with a heart for supporting women through the many seasons and transitions of life. I’m especially passionate about women’s and maternal mental health and creating a space where women feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported. I’m the founder of Selah Maternal Wellness, a virtual private practice where I work with women navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, relationships, identity, pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and the everyday challenges that come with carrying so many roles. While maternal mental health holds a special place in my heart, my work is not limited to motherhood. I welcome women in all stages of life who are looking for a space to slow down, reconnect with themselves, build on their strengths, and create meaningful change. My approach is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and focused on meeting you where you are. I also offer Christian counseling and faith-based therapy for women who would like to incorporate their faith into their healing journey, while always honoring each client’s individual beliefs and preferences. The name Selah reflects much of what I hope to offer through this work—a moment to pause, reflect, breathe, and reconnect. As women, we can spend so much time caring for everyone and everything around us that we forget we need care, too! Beyond individual therapy, I offer local workshops and group sessions to help women and moms connect, learn, and build supportive community. I’m also currently working toward my PMH-C certification to deepen my ability to support women throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Whether through individual therapy, faith-based support, workshops, or groups, my hope is for Selah to be a place where women can pause, feel supported, reconnect with who they are, and know they don’t have to navigate life alone.

Greetings! I am Kara Baird, I am a Licensed Professional Clinician Counselor and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor who has been in the field since 2014. I thoroughly enjoy being in private practice and believe it is a real honor to be trusted to walk along side you during some of the most difficult times in life.

As a Reality Therapist, who is also a certified DBT practitioner, I believe we are all responsible for the choices we make. I have worked with people of all ages suffering from alcohol and drug-related addictions, borderline personality disorder, PTSD and other trauma-related disorders, sexual abuse, anxiety, ADHD, and interpersonal problems. My core values are authenticity, transparency, integrity, compassion, and accountability and I operate from a place of moral principle. My purpose is to speak life into others and teach them how to do the same, starting within themselves. When we learn to connect our mind, body, and spirit we can accept things for what they are, people for who they are, and still find harmony within. To me, life is like a roller coaster, and sometimes the only way to enjoy it is to throw your hands up and scream until you find the laughter within. We all suffer. We all have a story to tell. I’m here to listen to yours and help you find the peace that surpasses all understanding because we were never designed to go through life alone. Join me if you want to learn how to take back control of your life and become comfortably uncomfortable. You are unique. You are beloved. You are enough. It's time to be who you were designed and created to be!

I am an African American female with a strong educational and professional foundation in both mental health and business.

I am committed to helping individuals feel seen, heard, and understood while supporting them in developing practical tools for emotional and personal growth.

Mylo Jennings PhD, LISW-S, LICDC (Licensed Independent Social Worker Supervisor) (Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor) Through my private practice, I provide clinical psychotherapy and counseling. I have over 40 years of experience in assessment and intervention for mental health and substance use disorders, I have dedicated extensive time to refining evidence-based modalities, including Existential Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy.

Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying everything on your own. You may know something needs to change, even if you’re not quite sure what that change looks like yet. I work with adults and older adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, identity, substance use, grief, and the challenges that can come with health and life changes. I’m a licensed independent social worker with an MSW and DSW, and my background includes behavioral health and integrated care. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I look at the whole person, including your relationships, culture, health, community, and the environments that shape your life.

I'm happy that you reached out for help, which takes courage and strength. My clients are often people who are doing their best to hold everything together but feel the weight of stress, anxiety, past experiences, or major life changes catching up with them. Many are high‑functioning on the outside yet overwhelmed on the inside. Others are navigating relationship challenges, grief, burnout, identity questions, or a sense that they’ve lost connection with themselves. I work with adults who want support that feels human, compassionate, and practical - not clinical or cold. I will offer a space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and explore what you’re going through without judgment. Together, we’ll identify what’s weighing on you, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you cope, grow, and move toward the life you want. If you’re feeling stuck, tired, or simply ready for something to shift, I’m here to help you take that next step. You’re welcome to reach out whenever you’re ready...we can talk about what you’re looking for and see if working together feels like a good fit.

I’m a licensed therapist and the founder of MindfulWayz and The Sanctuary, where I offer a warm, steady, emotionally spacious environment for adults navigating overwhelm, trauma, anxiety, and nervous‑system strain. My work is grounded in presence, curiosity, and respect for each person’s lived experience. I hold space without urgency, without pressure, and without the expectation to move faster than your system is ready for. I work slowly and collaboratively, honoring each person’s pace and the wisdom of their internal timing. My approach weaves somatic awareness, gentle reflection, and mindful pacing to support clients in reconnecting with their inner steadiness and creating a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I integrate trauma‑informed stabilization, parts‑oriented exploration, and nervous‑system regulation practices in ways that feel accessible and choice‑based. Clients often come to me during seasons of transition, exhaustion, or emotional overload — moments when old strategies no longer feel supportive and something quieter, steadier, and more sustainable is needed. Together, we explore what feels tender, what feels possible, and what feels ready, allowing your system to guide the process. My intention is to offer a therapeutic space that feels grounding, inclusive, and deeply respectful of your humanity. A space where you can soften, breathe, and move at a pace that feels safe for your body, your story, and your unfolding.

Hello! My name is Erin and I am happy that you are here! I have been licensed as a Professional Counselor since 2007 and I significant experience with clients of all ages. I have worked with children as young as 5 and adults as old as 105. I have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Wheeling Jesuit University and a Masters of Education in Community Counseling from Kent State University. I focus on person centered therapy and am also trained in Trauma Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and have a certification with The Grief Recovery Method. I enjoy meeting clients where they are at and giving them a safe space to explore emotions and begin to heal from painful experiences. I utilize telehealth as well as some in person sessions (location to be determined).

Welcome! I am a Licensed Independent Social Work based in Ohio. I received my Masters degree from The Ohio State University and have been practicing for 3 years. I help children, adolescents, young adults, and adults identify current stressors and how to better manage difficult situations. I am passionate about helping people find self-confidence and motivation to achieve their goals.

I have 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults on their journey toward healing and growth. At the heart of my work is a belief that meaningful progress starts with a meaningful connection. I focus on building genuine, trusting relationships that empower clients to identify and reach their personal goals. Whether working with a young child navigating big emotions or an adult facing life's challenges, I bring warmth, dedication, and a deep commitment to meeting each person exactly where they are.

Some wounds don’t show on the surface. They live in the way you second-guess yourself, struggle to trust, feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions, or brace yourself for rejection even when you’re grown. Sometimes what we call “family conflict” is actually the lifelong imprint of relationships that taught you to survive before you ever learned how to feel safe. My work with women 35+ focuses on the deeper layers beneath family struggles—attachment wounds, enmeshment, emotional abuse, chronic invalidation, unresolved childhood trauma, estrangement, and painful patterns that continue to surface in adult relationships. Maybe you’ve spent years being the peacemaker, carrying everyone else’s emotions, questioning your own reality, or feeling guilty for finally creating boundaries. Maybe you’ve reached a point where you’re asking, “Why can’t it be my turn to be attended to?” “Why was I programmed to believe that I’m being selfish for having needs and wants?” “Why can’t I matter as well?” Or “What would my life feel like if I stopped allowing my past to dictate my present?” Therapy with me isn’t about forcing reconciliation, assigning blame, or telling you to simply “let it go.” It’s about creating space to understand what happened, honor what you experienced, process the wounds you’ve carried, and begin responding to life from a place of greater self-trust and emotional freedom. Because sometimes healing means changing the relationship with your family. Sometimes it means creating distance. And sometimes it means finally realizing that you can love someone, grieve someone, or walk away from someone without abandoning yourself. You don’t have to spend the rest of your life managing the consequences of what happened in your childhood. Your past deserves to be understood—but it does not deserve to own your future.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I strive to create an environment where you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and understood. You can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. After all, we're only human. I enjoy helping people make sense of their experiences by combining compassion with practical tools and meaningful insight. I'm naturally curious and creative in my thinking, and I often incorporate psychoeducation to help clients better understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences. While I take my clients and their struggles seriously, I also believe there is room for humor and lightness in the healing process when the moment calls for it. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you recognize your strengths, build confidence in yourself, and rediscover hope.

I am am easy going but no bs therapist. I want you to feel comfortable enough to open up about what is troubling you but not too comfortable that you forget why you are here. Therapy with me is a lot of heavy lifting on your part and my job will be to guide and support you along that journey. I specialize in PTSD Therapy through different modalities. It is not easy work but you can most definitely do it. Let's do it together.

Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a mental health counselor who has obtained their LPCC (Licensed Practical Clinical Counselor). I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression and life transitions. My approach combines warmth, compassion, and evidence-based therapies like CBT. Through the use of evidence- based strategies, we will be able to use a variety of performance skills ranging from mindset and motivation to improving focus and concentration, to developing confidence and mental toughness. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation, a two-sided dialogue with room for reflection, healing and growth.

Hi, my name is Tara Devlin, and I am the owner of Peace of Mind Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of clinical experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I believe that positive mental health is fundamental to overall well-being, yet it is often misunderstood or stigmatized. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being open and honest. I work alongside individuals to develop practical coping skills that help manage stress, anxiety, life transitions, and other emotional struggles, empowering them to feel more confident and in control of their lives.

Hello! My name is Cheryl Cox, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio. I have treated individuals seeking therapy for over 15 years, in-home, in-person within medical clinics and private practice and recently via online therapy for approximately 6 years. I feel that I have quite a down to earth approach and I take great strides in meeting you where you currently are regarding your present circumstances, situation, strengths and challenges. I also feel that humor is important in developing rapport and I very much enjoy adding a little levity, when appropriate. Whether you're dealing with feelings of overwhelm or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back.

Hello, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social worker (LCSW and LISW) based in Pennsylvania and Ohio. I received my Masters from the University of Pittsburgh and have been practicing for 15 years. I help adults struggling with an array of mental health disorders. I am able to work with a wide age range with struggles in everyday life stressors to trauma and everything in between.

Sometimes life is hard and sometimes life hurts, but there is always hope. Pain, loss, and suffering are real.

My focus is to make you feel welcome in an accepting environment that allows you to be transparent and vulnerable in a way that brings healing for you.

Sometimes life feels overwhelming—whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or feeling disconnected from yourself. I specialize in working with adults, including young adults, using a strengths-based, client-centered approach tailored to your unique needs. I create a supportive, collaborative space where you can better understand your thoughts and emotions, build effective coping skills, and strengthen your sense of self. Together, we’ll focus on practical strategies to manage stress and anxiety, improve relationships, and cultivate greater self-worth and self-trust. My goal is to help you gain insight, feel more confident and connected, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life—creating meaningful, lasting change. I welcome the opportunity to support you in that process.

Are you feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin? Maybe you’ve been carrying too much for too long—showing up for others while putting your own needs aside. You might find yourself saying yes when you want to say no, or feeling pulled in different directions, unsure how to move forward. Perhaps you’re navigating difficult relationships, caregiving responsibilities, or a season of life that feels heavier than expected. You don’t have to do it alone. I offer a gentle, supportive space where you can slow down, breathe, and be yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you and reconnect with your strengths. With over 25 years of experience, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults facing trauma, emotional dysregulation, chronic stress, self-harm, and adoption-related concerns. Today, I focus on helping adults build resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, and experience meaningful growth. I hold a Ph.D. in Social Welfare from Case Western Reserve University and am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory designation in Ohio. I also teach full-time at Case Western Reserve University, staying closely connected to current research and evidence-based practices. I provide individual therapy and enjoy working with adults who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, shift old patterns, and move toward greater balance. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out—I would be honored to support you.

Hi, my name is Tishina and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. For the past eight years, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood changes, and the challenges that come with everyday problem solving. I became a therapist because therapy changed my life. It helped me heal, find my voice, and believe in myself and now I'm passionate about offering that same support and hope to the people that I work with.

If I could write a letter to my younger self, I would tell her this: You are not broken. You are responding to what you’ve been through. And one day, your healing will become someone else’s hope. Hi, I’m Cherita Griffin, MS, LPCC-S, NCC, CYT, SEL-F, C-DBT, CMIP—a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory Endorsement who has spent over 20 years supporting people through mental health challenges. I’m a trauma-informed therapist who deeply understands that healing is not just clinical… it’s personal. I’m also a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT), Social Emotional Learning Facilitator (SEL-F), Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (C-DBT), and Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP), allowing me to integrate both evidence-based practices and holistic approaches into the work we do together. I specialize in helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves find their way back to clarity, confidence, and peace. In our work together, we don’t just talk, we gently uncover, process, and rebuild. I combine evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and Social Emotional Learning with a compassionate, real, and non-judgmental space. This is a place where: • You don’t have to have it all together • You don’t have to carry everything alone • You can finally exhale Healing is not about becoming someone new, it’s about returning to who you were before life taught you to shrink, question yourself, or survive in silence. You deserve to feel whole, worthy, and at peace.

I’m a husband and dad to three boys (ages 16, 13 and 8), and family is a huge part of my life. We live on a 20-acre homestead where we raise chickens, goats, pigs, and cows, and we spend a lot of time in the garden. Life on the farm keeps me grounded and reminds me daily of the value of patience, hard work, and slowing down to enjoy what really matters. Faith and community are also central for me. I’m actively involved in my church, and I see my work as an extension of that calling to walk alongside others. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial streak. Alongside my therapy work, I am starting a tech start-up, I’ve run an online store, and I even dabble in Bitcoin mining. I enjoy the challenge of building things from the ground up and thinking outside the box. I also read a lot, and my libertarian leanings have been shaped by writers like Murray Rothbard. The conservative/libertarian focus on freedom, personal responsibility and low time preference connects deeply with how I approach life and therapy: we’re at our best when we are free to live with responsibility in society, own our choices, and pursue truth apart from coercion. When it comes to therapy itself, I integrate my faith with practical, proven methods. I use Christian Counseling, CBT, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method to help people grow emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. My goal is to give you a space where your values are respected, your faith is honored, and you feel equipped to face life’s challenges with hope and clarity. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the importance of faith, family, freedom, and practical tools for change, I’d love to walk with you on your journey.

Hi, I'm Mary Kastner, a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 40 years of experience helping children, adults, and families navigate life's challenges. I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore concerns, build confidence, and develop practical tools for lasting change. My approach is personalized to each individual and focuses on helping clients recognize their strengths, heal from difficult experiences, and move toward the life they want to create.

Hello, I'm Sarah. I'm a licensed clinical social worker who works with adults virtually in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. I strive to be easy to talk to, and I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without pressure, judgment, or needing to have everything figured out. My practice is collaborative, down-to-earth, and centered on what matters most to you. We’ll make room for whatever you’re carrying, whether it’s stress, relationship challenges, big life changes, old patterns that keep showing up, or simply the feeling that something needs to shift. I’ll listen closely, help you make sense of what’s going on, and support you in finding practical ways to move forward. I want our work to feel real and useful—not overly clinical or one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you, build on your strengths, and create space for more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor. I have been counseling for over 16 years. I find happiness and joy in helping people move beyond what they think is possible. I am sensitive, compassionate, empathetic, and very non-judgmental. I like to provide a safe place to for clients to process, so each client is able to share their story, knowing that you will be very supported.

I am a compassionate and experienced therapist specializing in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. With a focus on building strong relationships and fostering personal growth, I empower clients to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a culturally competent therapist. My approach is collaborative and tailored, providing a safe space for meaningful change and lasting solutions.

If you’ve ever had the quiet thought, “Something just isn’t right,” you’re not alone—and it’s worth paying attention to. I provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can begin to explore those feelings without judgment. My work centers individuals navigating anxiety, depression, mood-related challenges, relationship concerns, and the lasting impact of trauma. I often work with people who have been “the strong one” for others—deep feelers, caregivers, and those who find themselves stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, codependency, or difficulty trusting themselves. Many of my clients are unpacking experiences related to abandonment, rejection, identity concerns, or emotional overwhelm. I also support neurodivergent individuals who are seeking greater understanding of themselves and more effective ways to regulate their emotions and experiences. My approach is warm, intentional, and grounded in the belief that healing does not have to feel cold or clinical. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we move at your pace, creating space for reflection, emotional processing, and practical growth. Together, we will explore your experiences, challenge unhelpful patterns, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect you with a version of yourself that feels authentic and steady. Whether you are new to therapy or returning to deepen your work, I meet you where you are—with care, curiosity, and respect for your journey.

I am here to provide a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. For more than 20 years, I have helped adults and young people navigate grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and other difficult experiences. I will meet you where you are and offer compassionate support as you move toward healing and meaningful change. I have a special passion for EMDR therapy and am committed to providing skilled care tailored to your needs. I am deeply grateful to be a mental health counselor and it is a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.

Over the years, I've worked across diverse community settings, including Home-Based Services, hospitals, outpatient, PHP, residential, and virtual environments. My experience spans working with children, teens, adults, and older adults (geriatric population) facing challenges such as homelessness, alcohol and drug addiction, COVID-19, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, depression, and more. I understand that you may be going through a difficult time. Life brings many challenges that can cause one to feel anxiety, stress, worry, and doubt. Does this sound like you? I want you to know that I can empower you with the tools of success.

Hi! I am glad you're here! I am Heather and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor working with clients located in Ohio. I have 5 years of experience working with individuals that struggle with mood disorders, trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and more. I use a variety of modalities in my practice to find what best works with each client. I have been trained in EMDR which helps to desensitize and reprocess trauma. I have also completed trainings and use attachment theory, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

We all have things that we may struggle with from time to time, and it is important to find a professional that you can relate to when you need help. I enjoy helping people work through the difficulties of life, with a warm and non-judgmental attitude. My approach to therapy is laid-back and down to earth. Your sessions with me will very much be directed by you. Whatever brings you to therapy, know that it is my goal to partner with you and support you as you work toward healing, growth and wellness to sustain a healthy life with meaning and purpose.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. I've been providing outpatient therapy to clients all over Ohio for the past 12 years. I love meeting with people and finding out their personal goals and challenges and then creating a therapeutic approach that is unique to the individual and their needs. Creating a strong alliance with each and every client I see helps me to achieve this. This is what makes therapy successful! While my work is grounded in clinical, evidence-based approaches, I also believe that healing is a deeply personal journey and that many people experience their healing through a spiritual lens. For clients who are open to it, therapy can include exploration of spirituality, meaning, purpose, intuition, personal beliefs, and our relationship with something greater than ourselves. These conversations are never about imposing a particular religion or worldview. They are about making room for the parts of your experience that matter to you. I see therapy as an opportunity not only to reduce distress, but to better understand yourself, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and create a life that feels authentic and meaningful. We may explore the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, nervous system, body, relationships, values, and spiritual life as interconnected pieces of your overall wellbeing. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, trauma, burnout, life transitions, relationship difficulties, or simply a sense that something in your life no longer feels aligned, therapy can become a space for both healing and transformation

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, insight, and practical support. At Sunrise Counseling and Wellness, LLC, I provide a warm, collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or a major life transition, I tailor therapy to your unique needs using evidence-based approaches, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and EMDR-informed techniques as I continue advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Licensed Social Worker (LSW), and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC III) based in Ohio, with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals on their path to healing. I earned my Master’s degree from Walden University in Minneapolis and have devoted my career to helping adults move beyond immediate concerns and find lasting solutions for their mental health and well-being. I believe that while pain in life is unavoidable, healing and growth are always possible. My role as your therapist is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and emotions. Using evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to navigate life’s challenges, build coping skills, and strengthen resilience. My goal is to empower you to uncover your inner strengths, achieve personal growth, and cultivate more meaningful and fulfilling relationships. Together, we can work toward creating balance, clarity, and a sense of peace in your life.

I am an LCSW and LISW licensed in multiple states the the midwest and the south. I see all of my clients on line for now. I love to provide a safe and comfortable environment for people to share their problems and issues with me. I believe in meeting people where they are, regardless of race, gender, or social/economic status. I work mostly with young adults struggling with life challenges such as relationship issues, job stress, self esteem, and substance abuse issues. I also have a specialty in working with people with Borderline Personality Disorders, and helping others who may have a parent or loved on with BPD. I believe in being honest, protecting my client's privacy, and following therapeutic approaches based on evidence based practice.
