I believe that therapy can be a very difficult process, but with the right connection you are able to feel comfortable enough to let go and express negative thoughts/worries without fear of judgement. I have been working in private practice for the last 3 years, beginning in 2017. Prior to my experience in private practice, I worked for a non profit organization that focused on the stability and rehabilitation of the family unit. I am licensed in both Washington and Ohio as an independent clinician counselor. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from John Carroll University in 2014.

Life Is Life-ing! Tired, stressed, angry, and stuck are common feelings that may be causing you significant distress and disconnection from those you love. You want to get back to feeling like yourself again. Or maybe even define a different version of yourself or relationship. It can be challenging to know you need to make a change, but not know how to get there.
