I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker Therapist in the state of Ohio. I work with adults who are seeking help when feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just “off” in life and they know something is wrong but can’t quite figure out what it is. Often, along with the general feeling of “off” come complaints such as: depression, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, self-esteem concerns, substance abuse and questions of purpose. I aim to help you identify where, and how, the sense of “off” you feel may have started by exploring your past experiences and the impact they had on you. We look at your childhood history to find difficulties or trauma that wounded you and may still be affecting your life today. We then take action to heal the wounds with techniques and exercises to help you gain a true self-awareness and self-trust that will lead to the “realness” and authenticity in your life that is currently missing. Through compassion, empathy, and respect for your unique journey, I offer you a safe and supportive space to explore your matters.
