Adults Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

I view therapy as a journey of healing, growth and transformation. I believe that therapy is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. I have had the profound privilege of accompanying many adults, teens, children, families and couples on their journeys toward a deeper, more satisfying, more compassionate and more authentic knowing and acceptance of themselves. I know how to help people access their own wisdom and healing power; we all have it, but we don’t all know how to bring it forth and make it work in our lives.

My current practice is focused on helping the helpers. I enjoy working with a large range of human service professionals and caregivers from therapists to parents to teachers to first responders, nurses, and doctors to hairdressers. Those who are on their feet providing for others are my cup of tea. Burn out, secondary trauma, and re-aligning purpose are some of my specialties. I would love to create space where you can process, grow, and replenish your passion.

If you find yourself in a place of needing guidance or support in overcoming obstacles that are holding you back from where you want to be in your life, let’s begin a therapeutic relationship. My style is compassionate and authentic. I create a warm, safe space and bring a genuine listening ear to each session. I believe in gently challenging clients in both thoughts and behaviors because I know you're strong enough to handle it. I play an active role in therapy, and you will not be left alone to sort through the things that have been withholding you from inner peace.

Are you feeling stuck or are you struggling to feel settled in parts of your life? Maybe there are feelings you can’t seem to move past or unprocessed trauma, memories, or experiences getting in your way? Do you feel disconnected from your body, yourself, or those around you? I’m passionate about working with adults struggling after traumatic or damaging religious, educational, and/or cultural messaging and experiences and I can help!

I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Kent State University. My second Master’s degree is in Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University. I am a licensed professional clinical counselor and I have my supervisor designation (LPCC-S).

Pain and, often, trauma are a normal part of our humanity. Unless there is healing, the pain and/or trauma leave wounds that accompany us throughout our lives. It is my belief and experience these wounds can be healed. I’ve encountered personal healing and have had the privilege of facilitating the healing of others. As wounds heal, our true Self is able to expand, grow and awaken into its true nature, allowing us to live happier, freer and more peaceful.

My focus is helping clients with depression, anxiety disorders, relationship issues, life transitions and grief/loss. I rely on collaboration and evidence-based interventions to assist adults, teens and couples in navigating their personal journeys forward while also sometimes processing the past that brought them to this point. I believe that within each of us is a library of "knowing." My job is to help clients access that authentic part of themselves, providing a "library card" of sorts, so that they can make decisions and life choices that align with their values and support their goals and hopes for the future.

I love providing my clients with a safe and nonjudgmental space for them to be themselves. My biggest goal is for my clients to know that they have someone there for them, someone who can help them with their struggles and provide them support. I want to help people find balance in their lives, and aid people in finding their true selves. I know taking the step to get counseling is not an easy for one for all, and I hope to make your experience as comfortable as possible!

I work with adults processing a variety of issues including trauma, grief, relationships, complicated life transitions, depression, anxiety, and more. We can tend to feel “stuck” during difficult periods of our lives, or even start to form negative beliefs about ourselves as a result of trauma. Thoughts such as “I’m not good enough”, “something is wrong with me”, or “I’m permanently damaged”, “I can’t trust myself or others” etc.

Therapy needs to be special to each person, as each person experiences life from a different lens. My approach is to first get to know you as a person, understand your experiences, and then to decide what therapy techniques will work best for your healing and growth. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and utilize person-centered and humanistic approaches. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are trying to cope with anxiety, depression, bereavement, traumatic stress, body image and self-esteem difficulties, and challenges with life transitions.
