Great to meet you!

I have been in the social work field for 30+ years and in the mental health field for 12+ years. I am married, I live in Ohio with my husband and also have a business where I provide team building and wellness retreats and wellness/mindfulness interactive groups for stress, depression & anxiety. In addition, I have a cat sanctuary where we provide a cat room with a faux outdoor atmosphere where patrons can interact & enjoy the cats. I am an artist and a writer as well.

My approach to therapy

I have been through a multi-year journey for mental health and self-development for 25 years myself, so I teach clients skills and concepts that I have learned in my journey that I have found most helpful in managing my own stress, anxiety, depression and trauma related symptoms.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, you can expect a thorough assessment including past treatment experiences, what worked, what didn't work and goals you want to reach in your own recovery journey.
