Toledo's LGBTQIA+ community deserves affirming, solution-oriented mental healthcare. Headway offers evidence-based therapy and medication management with 528 warm, inquisitive providers who create nonjudgmental spaces for your mental health journey.
My approach is always affirming and collaborative. I work with late diagnosed, or suspected adults with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and giftedness, as well as LGBTQ+ community. I aim to treat each person with the respect and dignity they deserve and feel honored to meet you where you are & take this journey with you. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida & a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. I completed my professional degree at Nova Southeastern University (FL)
I have a bachelor's of Arts Degree, double majoring in Social Services and Religious Studies, a Master of Arts Degree in Psychology and the degree of Master of Social Work, from Cleveland State University.
I believe in a holistic approach to mental health. This means that all aspects of a person are included and considered in our work together. I assist those I work with in a variety of areas including, but not limited to:
Anxiety
Stress management
Depression
Grief and loss
Life transitions (including becoming an empty nester, divorce, retirement, aging with meaning)
Management of health issues (particularly pain and chronic health challenges)
Trauma (including religious trauma, sexual abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder)

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Toledo starts with identifying what you want to focus on in therapy. For some people, topics like coming out, identity exploration, or minority stress are central. For others, the focus may be anxiety, depression, or relationships — and having a provider who understands LGBTQIA+ experiences simply makes the process more comfortable. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LPCC, LISW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who lists LGBTQIA+ concerns as a specialty and whose bio reflects familiarity with the issues that matter to you.
Toledo's mental health provider network is smaller than those in larger Ohio cities like Columbus or Cleveland, so considering virtual appointments can expand your options. Many LGBTQIA+-affirming providers licensed in Ohio offer virtual sessions to patients across the state, giving you access to a broader range of specialties and approaches from the Toledo metro area.
Therapy in Toledo can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
