Hi there!
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Kentucky University, a PhD in Counseling from The George Washington University, and 10 years of experience in the field of mental health. I have experience addressing a variety of issues that often bring people to counseling including: symptoms of anxiety and depression, relationship issues, stress management, and adjustment to transitions in life, among others. I also have a lot of experience working with individuals on addressing addictions, such as reducing or abstaining from substance use.
I view the therapeutic relationship from a humanistic, person-centered approach, meaning that I focus on a person’s strengths and individuality while encouraging growth. I believe that everyone is capable of growth, and that everyone can benefit from an outside perspective from time to time. I like to integrate the use of a variety of treatment interventions based on what you need. Some of these include: Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. I like to be creative and collaborative in my approach, so expect that I will check in with you regarding what is working vs. not working with you, and we can adjust our plan accordingly.
Additional areas of focus: Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD

My experience with Olivia was excellent. She helped me through an incredibly tough time. If I weren’t moving, I would have loved to continue seeing her. I absolutely recommend her as a therapist.

Olivia is an excellent therapist. She focuses on making you feel comfortable and works with you on growth by employing a collaborative approach. She asks questions that will make you reflect and recognize how your mind works.
