I am an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in the state of Ohio. I started in the social work field in 2004 and have since worked with many different populations. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction/recovery, parenting issues, & career difficulties.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy and trusting a stranger with your story is courageous!
I am a great fit as a counselor for people who are ready for change and want it now! I ask you questions to get you thinking; to learn how to trust yourself and build boundaries where needed. If you are ready to take a personal and accountable view of yourself, I can help you with that. The acceptance of what has happened is where you start and then jumping into the reality of the choices you need to make will be what changes you. If that sounds like what you are looking for in counseling, we will be a great fit!
