I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory Designation (LPCC-S) in the state of Ohio. I have been working in the counseling profession since 2014 and in the mental health field since 2010. I feel the majority of my clients are quick to find that I am relaxed, calm and welcoming within the counseling experience. I am a liberal individual that is open to self-choice, one’s interests, beliefs and values. My goal in counseling is to help you, support you, and help advocate for you. I focus on meeting my clients where they are and collaborating on moving forward collectively. Together we can work on finding techniques, interventions and a counseling style that fits your needs in order to fulfill your life with value and meaning.
My education includes a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Wittenberg University. I have worked with numerous populations (e.g., individual therapy for adolescents and adults, couples, families, emergency room crisis assessments, state psychiatric hospitals, eating disorder treatment and online/remote therapy etc.) and have a wide range of experience with different presenting problems. Working in so many settings, I have gained experience and learned tools that could be helpful to you and your family.
Here’s a sampling of the settings in which I have worked: North Central Mental Health Services, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Emergency Room, Columbus Springs Dublin, Comprehensive Services Inc., Betterhelp, and The Center for Balanced Living (now The Emily Program).
