I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio with 14 years of professional experience working with adult FEMALE (sorry male clients;) clients 18 years old and up. My areas of focus include mild to moderate depression (excludes severe or treatment resistant depression and bipolar disorders), anxiety, stress management, trauma, grief/loss/bereavement, life transitions/purpose, women issues, self-esteem/confidence, and developing boundaries/assertive communication. My hours of operation are M-F 8a-330p. After 330p M-TH, I can accommodate messaging chat sessions only. Phone call or video sessions will not be possible after 330p.

My therapy approach consists of an eclectic combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused, existential, Jungian, Adlerian, Gestalt, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, integrative/holistic, psychodynamic, humanistic, mindfulness-based, art therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and interpersonal therapy.
