Be Our Fortunes As They May, Touched With Loss Or Sorrow; Saddest Eyes that Weep Today, May Be Glad Tomorrow - James Whitcomb Riley's words of pain also offer hope; they were engraved on a plaque in the hallway outside my room as I grew up. Grief, loss, anxiety, depression, work difficulties, relationship issues, & the 'all the things' may be here for the moment but don't have to be here for always.

I believe in every person's ability to heal, change, and grow. I specialize in anxiety and depression, grief, trauma, relationships, fertility, pregnancy and post-partum issues.

It is hard to ask for help! I am passionate about working with individuals who are motivated and willing to grow personally.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from The Ohio State University and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. For over 15 years, I have served and supported people of all ages. My areas of focus have been people facing difficult transitions such as becoming a parent, parenting a child with a developmental disability, starting college or a new job, getting diagnosed with a serious and/or chronic medical condition, divorce, or loss of a loved one. I utilize a non-judgmental and relaxed approach to help my clients feel safe and at ease.

Psychotherapy is not only about relieving mental distress. It is also about increasing resilience, wholeness, wellness, and improving relationships. I believe the therapist's job is to offer a safe place for healing - a place where an individual, couple, or family can be listened to with skill and respect. In the process of establishing a safe relationship and setting realistic goals, people grow and change according to their abilities. People are the "experts" of their own lives. I believe in the interdependence of the generations in families and in the human community.

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.

I am licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Ohio. I have 23 years of professional work experience.

I personally believe that each individual is the expert of their story.

Like so many of us, life has had some unexpected twists and turns. Whether you are grieving, sensing a growing distance with your spouse, having trouble taking care of your family, struggling to form meaningful relationships, recovering from a divorce or break up, unsure how to help your adult children, experiencing mood swings, struggling with work or school, relocating, struggling with pregnancy or learning that being a mom or dad is a lot harder than you imagined, I can help you feel less overwhelmed and more fulfilled. My goal is to help you feel better by providing direct, honest, respectful, and supportive feedback.

In the face of life's hardships, it's normal to feel frozen sometimes, unsure of where to even begin to heal. Big emotions like grief or anxiety flare up in the wake of loss, unexpected life events, or simply build up over time. We might find ourselves stuck in patterns or beliefs that are no longer serving us. It can be daunting to dig in at first, but you can find your equilibrium again. Together, we will work on strategies that help you contain pain and make space for joy. You can find a path through your stuck points and live a life more in line with your chosen values and goals.

Many of us come to counseling because we are struggling with feelings of overwhelm, perfectionism, burnout, lack of motivation, relationship issues, feelings of inadequacy, self-defeating behavior, or negative self-talk. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to identify and reduce negative thoughts and behaviors, build on strengths, and clarify personal values and goals. I encourage clients to weave meaningful connections between the past and the present as a pathway to positive change in the future.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 25 years. I provide a nurturing environment where we can safely explore difficult issues. I have a highly interactive approach and believe that the best results come from a strong therapeutic relationship. Many of the people I work with are the "walking wounded" - 'regular folks' feeling that they are not dealing well with the stresses of everyday life. Other people I work with have a history of chronic mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and bi-polar disorder.

Meeting with a counselor requires a lot of courage, so I have great respect for anyone who wants to start that journey. I will provide a non-judgmental space for you to identify your areas of concern and ultimately what you hope to change. Our goal is to build awareness together, so that you can make different choices instead of automatically doing the same things that no longer support you. We will work together to help you pay greater attention to your mind and body processes (i.e., a holistic approach) to facilitate a deeper connection with yourself and others.
