Parenting Therapists in Avon, OH

I specialize in the evaluation and evidence-based treatment of mood disorders, anxiety and stress, trauma, interpersonal and romantic relationships (e.g., communication, parenting, conflict, and infidelity), women’s health (e.g., pregnancy, postpartum, menopause), disordered eating and body image, health-related behavioral changes (e.g., adjustment to chronic illness, making lifestyle changes to improve medical conditions or overall wellbeing), sexual health and behavior, and issues relating to LGBTQ+ identification.

My role as your therapist is to provide a safe and comfortable environment, while exploring your presenting concerns and symptoms. I strive to be genuine, authentic and humble while exploring your concerns. I am dually licensed as a chemical dependency counselor (LICDC) and as a Professional Clinical Counselor (PCC). Areas of expertise include: depression, anxiety, perinatal mood disorders, postpartum depression, relationship issues, parenting stress, existential life stress, and substance abuse/addiction. I work with teenagers, adults, and LGBTQ populations.

At various times in our lives we may find ourselves faced with difficult experiences which may feel overwhelming and, often, seeking help can be the most difficult step. I believe that every person has the ability to make desired changes which can lead to a more fulfilling life. Understanding the uniqueness of those experiences, I take a holistic approach, using a variety of therapeutic interventions where my main goal is to work alongside you, in a safe and supportive environment, to explore these experiences, uncover inner strengths, and empower you to reach your goals and achieve your full potential.

The majority of us experience difficulties in our lives, but the experiences themselves can be very personal and unique. The key principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (the impact that our feelings, thoughts, and actions have on each other) can be life changing when embraced. CBT teaches us to be better stewards of ourselves and allows us to take charge of feeling better and maintaining our improvements after we've achieved them with our changed perspective and skill set. I’m an approachable professional who can help. I encourage you to call, text, or email me to see if we may be a good fit for your change process.
