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)
My ideal client is someone who is open to the life-changing, transformative solutions that modern psychiatry and mental health can offer. My practice is virtual by design, meeting clients on their terms, during non-traditional hours when they have time to focus on themselves and their needs.
I most enjoy empowering clients and helping them reach their goals! I look forward to working with you!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ohio
Finding the right therapist in Ohio starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or another challenge, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a real difference. Common license types in Ohio include LPC, LPCC, LISW, LICSW, and psychologist — and if you need medication management, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are also available.
Ohio is a large state, and access to mental health care can vary depending on where you live. Residents of Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Akron, and Dayton may have more in-person options nearby, while virtual sessions make it possible to connect with a licensed Ohio provider from anywhere in the state. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and what a session with them might look like.
Therapy in Ohio can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session — though costs vary based on your location and exact coverage.
