Job loss, divorce, loss of a loved one, legal issues, health issues, even joyous occasions like a new addition to your family are just some of life's biggest challenges. Sometimes people can cope with life's instabilities for years and then suddenly, they just can't. The proverbial straw that has broken the camel's back. We learn the coping skills we once used are no longer working. By working together, we can develop effective ways to manage life's challenges

I chose the counseling field out of a desire to help individuals find as much contentment in their lives as possible. My approach to helping clients is multi-faceted. I believe each person needs a specialized approach to therapy. My focus is to meet a client where they are and without judgments or preconceived solutions. You are unique and so is your therapy. Together, you and I make a therapy team.

During our sessions you will discover that thoughts, emotions and behaviors are interrelated; by first noticing what you are …thinking and then challenging those thoughts you can make a huge difference in your life. I'd like to help guide you in the process.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Xavier University and a Master's Degree in Community Counseling from the University of Cincinnati. I have been licensed as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) since 1998. As a clinical counselor I am licensed to independently diagnose and treat. I have worked in community mental health and in inpatient behavioral health. In both these settings I worked closely with psychiatrists if a medication protocol was warranted. I have also been providing online individual therapy since 2019. I've worked with diverse adult populations that included those that are managing life changes, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, familial and interpersonal issues to the chronically mentally ill.

If you are looking for an impartial person to discuss life changes, a specific issue, or just a safe place to talk, I look forward to working with you. My approach is warm, nonjudgemental, and focused on you.
