Therapists in Amelia, OH

Loss is a universal experience whether associated with moves, jobs, health, disability, developmental stage, divorce, addiction, neglect, physical/sexual abuse, or death. And, yet, most of us weren't given the tools to navigate and transform loss. Well meaning people may negate our experience with platitudes such as "God never gives you more than you can handle." As a licensed clinical social worker for over thirty years and a mother who has grieved and recovered from the death of her youngest son, I have a particular passion for and expertise in working with those who are grieving.

Currently Accepting New Clients. As someone who has been in the client chair before, I understand how difficult it can be to decide whether counseling is the right first step for you or how intimidating it is to discuss life’s hardships with another person. However, I can also attest to the benefits that counseling can produce in one’s life if given the proper time, effort, and care. Mental health is an integral component of overall health and well-being, and my goal as a counselor is to ease people through tough transition periods and to assist in cultivating meaningful lives.
