Every journey begins with taking your first step towards your destination. This first step may be your most difficult. It is important that you feel comfortable and safe in a non-judgmental environment with taking this first step. You may be experiencing anxiety, sadness, anger, or highs and lows because of chemical dependency, trauma, a mood disorder, or relationship issues. You may feel that you just need to be heard and your feelings validated. Whatever you are experiencing, you may feel that you just want to be a better you and be able to function more effectively.
I am a licensed clinical counselor who completed the master’s program at Cleveland State University. My work experience allowed me to advance my skills and gain experience in addiction, anxiety/depression, panic, trauma (PTSD), mood disorders, and anger. I have advanced training in EMDR. I am also a certified First Responder Counselor.
My life experiences help me to empathize with my clients, utilizing this to empower and facilitate change. Our interaction will be confidential and without judgement. I can help you understand different perspectives and teach you how to manage your thoughts and feelings to achieve what we all strive for – happiness and a sense of well-being.
