Clients should know that I bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to every session. I specialize in working with neurodiverse individuals, people managing anxiety or depression, and those navigating major life transitions. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, meaning I value your voice in the process and tailor our work together to your unique goals.

I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can be fully yourself without judgment. My role is to listen, guide, and equip you with tools that promote resilience, self-awareness, and growth. I also understand the importance of balancing mental health with real-life challenges like school, work, and relationships, and I integrate practical strategies to help you thrive in each area.

Most importantly, I want clients to know that they are not alone. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on both healing and building the confidence to move forward.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC). I specialize in supporting adults navigating trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.

In addition to my clinical training, I’ve completed extensive continuing education in trauma-informed care, addiction treatment, grief work, and other evidence-based practices.
