I'm a licensed social work therapist/professional in Ohio with nearly 20 years of experience. I specialize in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, substance issues, anger management, chronic suicidal ideations, suicide attempts, grief/loss, and communication challenges. Additionally, I have substantial experience assisting with coping through life changes.
I believe every person deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach to therapy focuses on leveraging your existing strengths and skills to address the challenges that bring you to our sessions. Together, we will build upon these strengths using a combination of humor, personal anecdotes, and my professional training to help you find purpose, happiness, and meaning in your life.
I encourage honesty and openness in our sessions and promise to offer the same in return. And I believe trust is a two way street. I will always be honest with you, and ask the same in return. I'll challenge you, but I'll also walk alongside you as we navigate life's difficulties together.
Taking the first step towards therapy takes a lot of courage, and I am proud of you for getting started. Let's embark on this journey together.
