I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the State of Ohio and have worked in the Mental Health field for over 10 years. I have a diverse range of experience providing outpatient mental health counseling to children, teens, and adults within individual, group and family modalities. I have worked as a therapist in office, community and school based settings.
A key component to my practice is in developing a collaborative, empathic, authentic and comfortable therapeutic relationship with clients. Therapy is a safe place in which I will assist you in exploring the past, creating peace in the present and feeling hope for the future.
My therapeutic style is influenced by person centered, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, mindfulness and trauma informed approaches to healing. I enjoy working with children, teens, adults and families to cope with change, grow self-love, structure enriching and dynamic self-care practices, and explore the rich internal world that resides within each of us.
Additional areas of focus: LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Anger management, Career difficulties, Blended Family Issues, Caregiver issues and stress, Codependency, Control issues, Divorce and separation, Family Problems, Money and financial issues, Obsessions, Compulsions, and OCD, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Sexuality, Social anxiety and phobia
