You’re doing the best you can, and it still feels like something’s missing. You don’t know what that something is, but you know when it was taken from you. I know because I’ve been there, and I want to help you. Starting with a new counselor is extremely difficult. I always tell clients that counseling is like a pair of jeans. If they don’t fit right, it will be uncomfortable. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Ohio, I use audio- and video-based treatment to reduce the impact of adverse life experiences, and to help busy survivors let go of the past and thrive in the future. Confidential, on-time, dedicated, and empathetic. I return calls and emails the day of. I start treatment with a brief overview of what’s going on, and we collaborate on goals. The time for difficult questions will come as we work toward building a trusting relationship. Together, we will learn more about how your unique experiences are impacting your body and your life. Then we will learn skills to stabilize things. When you’re ready, we will do some deeper work to untangle the past for a clearer future. I specialize in supporting people who are dedicated to healing from things they don’t talk about. I use whole-body treatment interventions to get to the core of where trauma is stored.

As a licensed psychologist, I recognize that life and relationships can prove to be challenging.

I treat young adults, adults, and older adults presenting with a wide range of life issues, needs, and concerns. I focus on maladaptive stress, anxiety, and mood instability stemming from various life situations (academic distress, finances, career, family relationships, personal relationships, and the diagnosis and treatment of physical health issues as examples). I do so by increasing self-awareness while teaching skills to refocus stress and reduce the feelings of instability experienced. I also help build a healthy sense of identity and increase confidence to make adaptive, self-determined life choices. I believe in an informed, individualized approach to treatment that is provided within a compassionate, respectful, and ethical environment. I firmly believe that through these elements individuals can reach a degree of awareness, focus, and understanding that allows for increased meaning, purpose, satisfaction, and fulfillment in their lives.
