Great to meet you!

Life's challenges bring us to our knees. A Clinical Counselor helps. 36+ years of work with courts, hospitals & schools helps. "Been there, ... I get it". In my early 20’s, while working F/T at UC, I learned Clinical Counseling (diagnosis and treatment of mental and emotional disorders) while completing my Doctorate in my 20’s at UD. Clinically trained by UC (adults) and CCHMC (ages 0-18). Specially trained in Trauma, DBT, EMDR and law. Supreme Court of Ohio approved PC, GAL and Mediator (starting in ‘89 with Airing Institute - Beech Acres, Co-led Divorce Mediation). Collaborative Law FRS. ADHD Assessment & Accommodations Plans.

My approach to therapy

My training in Law, Communication Sciences and Disorders as an SLP, and Ohio Dept of Ed License as a Student Services Manager, equip me to create and enforce special needs accommodations plans (i.e., ADA, IEP & 504 for school, work and licensing exams). Crisis? Call 988 to talk. Considering hurting yourself or someone else? Dial 911 or go to your nearest ER

What you can expect from me

I serve those of all ages and stages of life. Well trained both in the developmental concerns of the young and the concerns of our elders who struggle with the challenges of aging and Advance Directives (i.e., including mental / neurologic decline & dementia). DBT-LBC Linehan Board of Certification, Board of Directors - Legislative Committee Member.
