Therapists in Milford, OH

I am a licensed clinical social worker who thrives to provide a safe and therapeutic working relationship with all of my clients. I have licenses to practice in both Kentucky and Ohio. Since 2000, I have worked in a variety of settings in both community and private mental health offices. My practice is geared toward finding solutions to address your underlying issues and accomplish goals we identify together. Therapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

With warmth and compassion, I seek to accompany clients on their personal journey. Whether it be a time of change or loss, feelings of depression or anxiety, relationship difficulties, or a complex trauma history, I seek to provide a space where clients can feel safe, seek and find meaning through their experiences, and move towards their personal goals. I specialize in working with trauma, existential anxiety/dread/crisis, grief, mid-life specific issues, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

Life changes. Some life changes can be anticipated or predicted; some occur spontaneously, without notice or warning. Regardless of how they occur, all require adaptation and adjustment to what is different or new. We seldom have much difficulty with small changes—those that don’t disrupt a familiar lifestyle or a solid sense of self. Other life changes can be more challenging, sometimes making navigation from the present uncertain, frightening, and maybe even overwhelming. The counseling process can promote successful transitioning and significant personal growth in the course of life changes.

You just want to feel better. Trauma has turned you into someone you don’t even recognize. You’re constantly on edge and can’t sleep. If sleep does come, it’s often restless and filled with nightmares. Your creativity, performance, and professionalism is suffering. You often feel tremendous guilt and shame; no one understands what it's like. Or maybe you stuff the hurt, pain, and disappointment down deep inside so no one sees it. You know how to put on a good, happy face for others. The emptiness and loneliness seem unbearable. Or maybe this describes your loved one who you can’t seem to reach no matter how hard you try.

Please feel free to reach out and contact me for further questions. I offer a 15 minute consultation call to see if I can assist with your needs.

Are you looking to get through your day easier, and stop feeling like you are just barely keeping it together? Do you need help finding strategies that actually work to cope with your thoughts? What would it look like for you to not be dealing with these overwhelming feelings so often? We will work together to clarify what your specific goals are, and how I can help you achieve an easier day.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just not feeling like you’re firing on all cylinders? Maybe you're feeling burnt out from life or work. Life throws heavy stuff at us, and sometimes, we need a partner to figure it out. That’s where I come in; I’m just a real person helping other real people. The idea of talking to a therapist can be scary- maybe you’re not ready to share your whole story, and that’s okay. My job is to help you figure out what you want to work on and go from there. I believe therapy is a safe place where we can come up with solutions to some of the challenges you may be experiencing.
