About Me

Professional Counselor in
Cleveland Ohio

I am passionate about helping others heal and live their fullest life.  But, outside of being a mental health counselor, I most enjoy my time with my husband and three kids.  Time with my family fills me up.  I like to cook, listen to music, be creative and get outside in nature.  I always have an audio book that I am listening to, most of the time it is a book about personal growth and development, I am forever a learner.  I do enjoy the occasional fiction novel.  
 
I believe therapy provides two things.  First, therapy provides a safe place to talk about the things in your life that create discomfort.  Talking allows you to relieve the pressure that stress causes.  It gives an opportunity to  explore your thoughts and feelings so that you can better understand what you need to build happiness.  Second, therapy allows for a non-judgmental place to problem solve and work towards change.  I can’t assume to know what you need, it is my job to help you to find the solutions that will work in your life to bring the change you desire.  I want you to leave a session feeling like you have a game plan, even the smallest change will start the path forward. 
 
Professionally:  
 
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).  I am licensed in the stated of Ohio.  I have been practicing since 2005.  I specialize in work with anxiety, trauma, childhood trauma, relationships and parenting support.  I rely heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I also utilize Strength-Based and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.  Most of all, it is my job to meet you where you are at and help you get to your goals. 

It is terrifying to think about change. You aren’t living your life to your fullest and you know that you can’t continue living this way. Perhaps discomfort presents itself in a quiet subtle way, maybe it is screaming at you in a voice that you can’t ignore, or maybe it just popped up out of nowhere leaving you confused and asking questions. Your thoughts keep swirling in your head, leaving you with feelings of confusion. Relationships in your life are being impacted and you want nothing more than to find calmness in your life. You can live life to the fullest, you can have peace in your mind. You can learn to quiet the inner critic, to have love for yourself and to find more appreciation for the people around you. You can make peace with the pains of the past and move your life forward. With the convenience of online therapy, I can provide a comfortable space that is accessible and easy to fit into your busy life. I support your self-exploration and provide solutions to help you understand why you are stuck and how to get you to the place you desire.
