Sick of suffering? Sick of feeling like you've tried everything & no one seems to understand, no one seems to be able to help? Feeling like there is no purpose to keep moving forward in life? Feeling low, anxious & alone! You don't have to be alone. I can help guide you down a path of healing, a path of awakening to the true you! Together, we can find that light within & bring it back to life. Let me teach you how to be free from suffering. Let me teach you how to access your highest potential. I specialize in trauma and addictions (for those actively in recovery.)

Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.

Has there ever been a time where you felt alone or that something wasn't working? Maybe you have tried to cope with these feelings or maybe you do not know where to start. I believe that these thoughts and feelings can be changed once we change the mindset. No matter what stage of life a client is in, my goal is for each client to feel accepted and supported. I desire for each client to recognize their strengths and utilize them to help grow through these difficult times. I can help to resolve conflicts, recognize strengths, increase confidence and communication skills.

I am a licensed counselor in both Ohio and Missouri. I have a history working with adolescents, however, I currently work primarily with women of all ages. I enjoy, and have experience, supporting those who need support in a variety of areas. I am a Christian counselor and love exploring your stressors and assisting you to grow throughout your life struggles by adding in a Biblical perspective. If desired, I love to teach coping skills from a place where basic counseling skills intersect with Biblical principals.

Too often, people start therapy w/out really knowing how it's supposed to help them. Too often, therapists passively listen without providing the essential skills & insights to help them get better. This can lead to a lot of time and money being spent w/out seeing much improvement. That is why my practice has a transparent and teamwork driven approach. In the 1st 1-3 sessions we go over why you started therapy and then collaborate on a treatment plan that is customized to your specific goals. Over the course of treatment we review progress and make modifications accordingly.

At ALC, we have a passion for helping people obtain skills aimed in improving overall quality of life. Using a trauma-informed perspective and client-centered approach through individual and group counseling, we aim to provide positive coping strategies to overcome mental and behavioral health challenges.

Life can seem overwhelming and intense, at times it may feel like the chaos and confusion are too much to bear on your own. Conflicts within ourselves, our spouses, family, friends and children arise, uncertainty of when it will end begins to consume us and starts to feel normal. Sometimes life has felt like this since childhood, carrying a weight that is too heavy, creating patterns and a lifestyle that just aren’t working. Children can experience intense and uncertain feelings, not knowing how to regulate their emotions, or seek out validation can lead to confusion that transpires into adulthood.

I recognize that we all face challenges in life and sometimes we need someone to walk with us in those challenges to provide support and ask questions that help us regain our power. While I have a particular love for working with teens, young adults, and couples, I have a great deal of experience working with children and families as well. I love to harness each client’s individual strengths and interests including music, spirituality, reading, creative writing, anime, and video games to help identify your values and goals.
