Available both in-person and online
Ashtabula, OH 44004
I specialize in working with adolescents (12+) and young adults who are looking for a supportive, authentic therapeutic relationship while navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, self-esteem concerns, communication struggles, self-harm, suicidality, or stressful life transitions. Many of my clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and are seeking guidance, emotional support, and practical tools to better understand themselves.
I help clients navigate personal and life challenges by building insight, strengthening coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and increasing confidence. Using a strengths-based and CBT approach, I create an encouraging, uplifting, and nonjudgmental environment focused on healing, personal growth, and meaningful, lasting change
Life can feel heavy at times, especially when emotions become difficult to manage alone. Therapy offers a safe space to slow down, process experiences, and feel genuinely understood. I use a positive, personable and unique approach to help clients feel comfortable, connected, and supported throughout the therapeutic process.
