- LISW
As a licensed therapist in Ohio, I bring over two decades of dedicated experience supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and significant life transitions.
I specialize in addressing social anxiety, communication difficulties, and feelings of isolation. My therapeutic work focuses on guiding individuals toward deeper self-understanding, helping them develop stronger interpersonal skills and reconnect with their sense of purpose.
My practice is rooted in compassionate, client-centered care. I believe in creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and cultivate self-love and personal growth. Whether you're struggling with shame, seeking forgiveness, or working through career challenges, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
