Everyone struggles with acceptance. Accepting ourselves, accepting others, accepting life. If you are dealing with anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, low confidence, issues around gender identity and/or identifying as LGBTQ+ and are looking for an accepting therapist to help you find a sense of peace, you've come to the right place. I am a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in the state of Ohio. I identify as trans and have twenty years experience in the LGBTQ community. My experience as a social worker ranges from work in the HIV/AIDS community to those living with cancer.

Serving Central Ohioans for thirty years, I AM an EMDR trained, heart-centered Therapist/Social Worker/Teacher/Artist/Reiki Master. My work focuses on enhancing the holistic well-being of adolescents and adults suffering from aversive childhood experiences, traumatic events, Near Death Experiences, and every day stress that provokes anxiety and/or depression. My efforts focus on building confidence and strong identity with people experiencing chronic conditions/disabilities, internationals, (Je parle le français) and spiritual seekers through a growing array of approaches like DBT, Feminist Therapy and Integral Psychotherapy.

Coming to a realization about the way you have managed life has not served you to your highest benefit. Now you're at a juncture where you are ready to change the deep-rooted beliefs that has stunted your personal growth. You are feeling there is something more to your life or at least hoping there is something more, but your old thinking patterns, behaviors and feelings are blocking your desired outcome. You are ready to no longer envision your potential but yearn to take the proper steps towards it but unclear how. It is time to do something different to receive something different. It is your time to evolve.

Help starts here! I provide therapy services to individuals, groups and couples with problems related to health, mental health and career. Life crises, depression, grief and substance abuse can all get better faster with professional help.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am a firm believer that people deserve to live their lives to the fullest, walk in their truth, and become their best self. Will life present challenges? Absolutely! When life becomes difficult and we are presented with unforeseen circumstances that create challenges, certain individuals are destined to join our journey to help foster the healing process. Will you allow me to be that individual?

If you want to get to the root of what you struggle with and understand who you are, I can offer you a nonjudgemental space to explore your past, enrich your present, and build a future you want to live in. People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons that basically boil down to something is wrong and I can't figure it out. I can help you figure it out. I am a huge proponent of wellness and firmly believe that our mental and emotional states are impacted by our physical wellbeing, social wellbeing, relationships and visa versa. I am here to listen and provide you with an outside perspective to help you gain insight and clarity.

“Vulnerability is not winning or losing. It’s having the courage to show up when you can’t control the outcome.” - Brene Brown. Making the choice to attend therapy takes courage and that courage will drive you to create change within your life. Attending therapy can be a vulnerable setting, but I strive to make warm and genuine connections with my clients. I will do this by highlighting your strengths and creating awareness with tools that will help foster change within your journey

I have been a practicing Clinical Counselor for over 15 years. As a counselor, I have sought to help others reach their full potential, utilizing their strengths and internal motivation to conquer their struggles. The counseling process is a partnership and an opportunity to share the weight of your burdens. It is an opportunity to process your belief systems and utilize your own tools to overcome even the hardest of challenges.

My best guess is you’re here checking out potential therapists because you’re feeling a bit stuck; you’re ready for something new, or maybe you’re just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. There are infinite reasons why individuals might seek out counseling and therapy services.  However, there is often a thread of “feeling stuck” or a sense of discomfort as a response to a stressful situation. Perhaps you are going through a difficult time in your life or maybe you’ve noticed a pattern of behavior that you would like to explore further.  Whatever the reason, I’m here to help.

Some seasons of life are joyful such as the anticipation of a graduation, getting married or welcoming a new baby. Other times we find ourselves in a season of adversity and become overwhelmed by our circumstances. Profound disappointment sets in and we grieve our lost dreams and unmet expectations. During these more difficult seasons, we may develop negative beliefs about ourselves or the world around us that cause further suffering. It is my desire as a counselor to provide a compassionate space where one can wrestle with these negative beliefs and begin to see life through a more hopeful lens.

Careers and romantic/family relationships are complicated by the cascading changes in recent years. This brings unexpected opportunities to free ourselves from old patterns and to act effectively in our personal lives and the world. What if you felt inspired and energized to be your best self, instead of feeling even more drained and overwhelmed? Don't settle for the same old thing with your partner, children, parents, colleagues/work, even systemic injustice. The surprising truth is it's the web of relationships keeping us stuck. That means you can stop blaming self or others and shift your part to get better results.

Are you feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed, scared, in pain, in conflict? Perhaps you're a couple who've lost your connection, you're arguing all the time, or feeling betrayed or let down. I have helped many couples find the love, trust, respect and affection they used to share, and build a stronger, healthier foundation on which to continue growing. Perhaps you're an individual in crisis, or in a life transition, or lonely, depressed, anxious, or desperate for change. Together we will uncover your inner strength, recalibrate your direction, and open doors to a rewarding future. Perhaps you have a child or teen in need of support.

Are you struggling in your relationships with others, not getting what you want from them, feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and powerless to feeling better? I have the tools you need to resolve your problems. Though the thought of therapy can feel scary, I will work with you in a non-judgmental, all accepting, and non-assuming approach. We will work together in a collaborative partnership that clearly identifies what you need and how to get those needs met.

Are you facing a significant life transition and in need of support? Are you feeling overwhelmed as a caregiver for a loved one? Have you noticed that spending time with others has become less enjoyable? Are you dealing with low self-esteem and harsh self-judgments? Have you experienced an unexpected loss and finding it hard to adjust. Do you need help with identifying coping skills to improve your daily functioning? If so, these are common reasons to seek psychotherapy. You are deserving of being the best version of yourself. I am here to create a safe space that will support personal growth and self-expression without judgment.

We all have a story. It is a story we have been telling our whole lives. We add to this story with each new encounter and context. Sometimes our stories get warped by any number of life factors, and we can lose our sense of self. I see therapy as an opportunity to unravel and examine the story of you, to get to the “why” of you.
