I believe in taking a client-centered & solution-focused approach to help you address the issues that bring you to counseling & to help you explore aspects of your life that need either resolution or changes. My goal is to create a relaxed & comfortable atmosphere to work toward a reduction of symptoms & positive changes. Clients find me to be personable, understanding, non-judgmental, & welcoming. I enjoy the time I spend working with clients & hope that my clients find the time valuable as well. Please contact me with questions & if you would like to start working together.
I have spent a lot of time working with mood disorders & other mental health concerns. The specialties I work with are trauma & PTSD, postpartum depression & women's sexual health issues. I often do CBT with clients & will pull from other frameworks too.
I have over a decade of experience providing mental health counseling to adolescents, adults, & families & have been in private practice for 10 years. I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker & received my Master of Social Work degree from The Ohio State University.
