For over 30 years, I have walked alongside clients, helping them navigate through depression, anxiety, and the emotional challenges that arise from stressful life events. Guided by personal respect and unwavering integrity, I am committed to taking the ‘high road’ in all situations. I often utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a powerful tool to foster self-responsibility and promote emotional well-being.

 

My academic foundation, rooted in evidence-based practice, combined with my dedication to individualized care, empowers clients to achieve realistic and meaningful goals. I value diversity and inclusion, continually seeking to connect with people from different backgrounds and experiences. For me, counseling is more than a career—it’s a true passion.

​

I am deeply moved and inspired when the therapeutic process uncovers new insights that lead to life-changing breakthroughs. I do not claim to be an expert in my clients' lives, but I believe our collaborative synergy fuels growth and transformation. As a lifelong student of positive psychology, I often weave humor into our conversations, recognizing that we sometimes take ourselves too seriously.

 

I hold multiple credentials, including:

• Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor – Supervisor (OH and MI)

• Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (OH)

• Certified Employee Assistance Professional

• National Board-Certified Counselor

 

I aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore challenges, discover strengths, and embrace positive change.
