Teletherapy for Ohio

I help clients learn to effectively manage life challenges and build emotional resilience through improved coping, communication and relationship skills. I am also a certified food and eating wellness coach, and can help clients address some of the nutritional underpinnings of mood issues, including anger, anxiety and depression. I work with clients who experience anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, behavioral addiction, and disordered eating, as well those who have experienced grief, co-dependency, low self-esteem, physical/ emotional abuse and family of origin dysfunction.

I do individual and couple therapy. I am often a good fit for clients who want to integrate a spiritual perspective into therapy. By spiritual I mean living authentically, finding deep purpose, forgiving oneself and others, having compassion for yourself and others in the face of life's inevitable challenges, and seeing the sacred in the ordinary. I work with people of different faiths and those with no particular belief. I mix creativity, humor, and metaphors into therapy and encourage "daily practice for the rest of your life" to keep growth going long after therapy concludes. Check out some videos about my approach on my website.

I have an undergraduate degree from Charleston Southern University in Sociology and a Masters in Social Work from Wesleyan University. I have worked with adults, adolescents, children, and families for over 18 years. I specialize in depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem issues, navigating conflict, boundary issues, and effective communication.

Hello, I wish you the best on your wellness journey. I am a mental wellness focused counselor and believe in the mind, body, and spirit connection. As a TF CBT trained and systems trained therapist I use a person centered, solution focused, eclectic approach customized to match the needs of my clients. Everyday life can be challenging at times to say the least, when life throws unexpected circumstances our way it can be difficult to navigate the complex emotions that surface due to past family or relationship dynamics, past or current traumatic events and the depression, anxiety, and mixed emotions that come along with it.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." --Maya Angelou. Suffering is often silent. We hold back our sadness, loneliness, resentment & shame. We think that pushing these feelings aside will allow us to live the life we desire. Yet, if you find yourself unable to move forward, I would be honored to sit alongside you as you process your story. Your pain. Your joy. Your sorrow, self-doubt and hatred. It is my goal that through my nonjudgmental ear you feel seen, heard, accepted & cared for. It is in this space that we can overcome the hardships of your past or future, & embrace the light that is within you.

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, passionate about helping others become the best versions of themselves in order to live their best lives.

Are you in a relationship that's manipulative? Or are you unsure and need some clarity? If you've recently left a challenging relationship, I'm here for you and can be a guiding and healing hand. Relationships are an intricate dance, and we all have moments of imperfection; however, those missteps leave us feeling drained, hurt and afraid. You may feel like you're sacrificing your own needs in order to please your partner. You don’t want them to feel any discomfort even if it' costs of your own well-being. But, amidst all your selfless efforts, you don't feel loved in return. You hope that it will change, but it never does.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and/or substance misuse? Do you struggle with maintaining loving and harmonious relationships? If so, I offer a warm, compassionate, safe space to invite you to relax, open, and embark upon the process of healing, transforming, and awakening to your highest potential. Together we will deep dive and explore the root causes of whatever is holding you back from experiencing greater love, connection, trust, and peace of mind. Life is short, so reach out and let's get started.

Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.

It takes courage to ask for help. If you're reading this then you’ve already taken the first step toward healing, and I applaud you for that. I am a licensed independent social worker and a licensed independent chemical dependency counselor with over 15 years of experience with individuals and groups from many different backgrounds and settings. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, addiction, and personality disorders. I'm interested in your mental health and overall recovery. There are a lot of therapies out there that claim to be ‘the’ way, but I find that if something is too good to be true, it probably is.

Now Accepting New Clients - Counseling is all about helping people break free from the things that have been keeping them from feeling happy and hopeful. Whether you're going through big changes in your life, whether they're personal or work-related, dealing with relationship issues, or just trying to get a better understanding of yourself and find a bit more purpose, counseling can help.

Is anxiety casting a shadow over your work, relationships, or physical well-being? If you find yourself grappling with symptoms like racing thoughts, shaking, disproportionate emotional reactions, persistent worry, or sleep disruptions, and they've started to become an unwelcome part of who you are, it's time to consider therapy. When these symptoms begin to impede your quality of life, affecting your health, relationships, or work, reaching out for support is a crucial step. Let's join forces to confront these challenges so they no longer interfere with your overall well-being and connections.
