I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, who specializes in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have over 3 years of experience working in behavioral health, providing individual therapy to teens and adults, families, & couples, group therapy, crisis stabilization, and residential mental health. I have a passion for working with depression, anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders. I take a person-centered approach to create a welcoming environment. I believe that having a strong therapeutic relationship is the key to effective counseling. I incorporate evidenced based modalities when providing family, couples, & individual therapy.

I am a licensed clinical counselor with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology from Miami University and a Master’s degree from the University of Dayton. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families in a variety of mental health settings and levels of care. Generally, my clients have been working on behavioral and mental challenges related to anxiety, depression, eating disorders, complex trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal relationship concerns, and difficulty with functioning in everyday life.

As a therapist who has been in therapy throughout my life, I bring a unique perspective to my work with adolescents, individuals, and families. I offer trauma-informed care that fosters healing and empowers people to move forward. I employ a strengths-based approach and tailor various treatment modalities to fit each client and their unique journey. I want you to leave our sessions equipped with the tools, skills, understanding, and positive beliefs needed for your ongoing journey.

The journey we take through life can prove to be more challenging at times than we expect. You do not have to do it alone. It is my mission to provide a safe and warm environment to discuss those things which may be the most difficult. I see children, teens, and adults- including individuals, families, and couples. I diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of mental and emotional disorders. I have years of experience creating a foundation to meet your needs. Please know that whatever it is that is burdening you, it can be made easier with the help I can give. We will make a good team!

My motto in life and in counseling is to meet people where they are at and walk alongside them on the journey through a path of healing. I am grateful and honored to work in this field and strive to provide the best possible therapy to each and every client.

In my 30 years of experience as a child and adult clinical psychologist, I have developed a diverse set of assessment and therapeutic skills, allowing me to provide optimal care to children, adults and families. I am a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC), and my specialties include helping families going through the difficulties of divorce, parent coordination, preserving a cooperative and collaborative environment to keep the children's best interests a priority, and conducting court-ordered custody evaluations. Attorneys and courts frequently request these services in order to help resolve child custody and parenting disputes.

Being trained in Marriage and Family Therapy isn't just about working with couples. It is best to state that relationships are my passion. Be it with the self: your thoughts, fears, concerns, spirituality, etc...or with others: a friend, sibling, partner, etc. Whether it's focusing on anxieties, communication, troubling thoughts, trauma, or depression, I founded One Session at a Time to provide an accepting, safe environment for those who want to challenge themselves in their journey toward self growth either on their own or with another.

In my work as a clinician, I utilize a creative and strengths based approach in helping clients identify their own path towards a whole versus fragmented sense of self. My goal in therapy is to empower the client to develop the capacity and skills to move past their suffering into a greater sense of well-being, peace and freedom.

Bearing your soul to a complete stranger can be a very stress provoking experience. Trauma, anxiety and depression are difficult journeys to take alone. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2007, and have worked in a variety of settings to gain the experience I have to help the many difficult challenges we face in our lives. If you have childhood trauma, or adult trauma, or depression, anxiety, or even just trying to adjust to a new stage of life. I would be honored to help you manage and conquer what challenges you're facing.

As we navigate our lives, we develop beliefs about ourself through our experiences. These beliefs have powerful effects on our sense of belonging, our attempts to receive love and affection, and our desires for intimacy. Feeling accepted and valued can result in a sense of self that approaches life with trust, confidence and flexibility. When difficult events arise, or we feel rejected and mistreated, the way we view ourself and our efficacy can be impacted. While we cannot change the experiences of our life, we can rewrite the meaning we assign to those experiences and free ourself from the associated distress.

You want a therapist who is passionate & loves people, who has multiple, not singular experiences, who believes in therapy enough to go themselves. I go as preventive medicine. Originally from NYC, have always had friends, associates, relationships with persons from every culture.  This has been extremely valuable in developing my clinical skills and ability to understand and help a wide variety of people from various backgrounds.  The next invaluable contribution to my clinical skills is my Mother, Elizabeth, who taught me, "Everyone I know knows something I don't."  This makes every single person of unique intrinsic value.
