Teletherapy for Mentor, OH

Finding the right person to connect with and build a healthy therapeutic relationship is an important step in the right direction. I welcome a safe space with a trauma informed approach.

I find passion in empowering others to help them develop skills in order to become the best person they can be. I believe in helping clients identify and use their strengths to help overcome difficulties, whether it is struggling with managing life stressors or chronic mental illness. I have provided counseling to children and adolescents with symptoms of anxiety, depression, oppositional defiant disorder, and ADHD. I enjoy working with clients in the LGBTQ+ population, and I also have had training in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy.

I have had the opportunity to work with adolescents, adults, and families in both individual and group settings. In my work with adolescents, I have provided care for children and teens who report issues regarding suicide, depression, anxiety, family concerns, and behavioral issues. I have training in art and play therapy and specialize in the unique needs that children and adolescents face. I utilize a strength-based approach with each individual to help them achieve their goals toward wellness.
