About me

Hello. Congratulations on taking a courageous step toward self-care, personal development and healing. The decision to reach out for counseling can be daunting. Especially when you just want to find a good match - a therapist who really understands you and has an approach that meets your needs.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. I work specifically with people who find themselves repeatedly engaged in unfulfilling and even toxic relational patterns. They desire healthier and more deeply connected relationships with others but find themselves consistently struggling with difficult and sometimes overwhelming feelings and negative interactions with partners, family members, friends and/or colleagues. They long to create, restore and strengthen the bonds of healthy relationships in their life. Painful relationship experiences in their past have given rise to distressing issues in present relationships. If this sounds like you, I want you to know that thriving connections that last over time are possible. I'm here to help.

With over 20 years as a master level counselor, I have provided counseling services for clients who have been impacted by a variety of issues such as couple and family discord, depression, self-esteem, and trauma-related concerns. I offer an authentic, empathetic, and collaborative way of working with clients. Utilizing an integrative approach, my therapeutic style draws from attachment, family systems and cognitive behavioral perspectives. If what I've shared here sounds like a good match, let's work together. I'm here to help.
