I am licensed in Ohio with 34 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & Bipolar disorder, among other areas. I am certified in the State of Ohio in Trauma informed Care and have extensive experience in using CBT and DBT modalities to assist in empowering the client to make active changes to improve their well being. I have extensive experience in working with military veterans and have been married for 32 years to a military veteran, so I also have 1st hand experience in the impact to families and the veterans in having served their country.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and look forward to working with you so that you can find your own sense of happiness.
I feel that really listening to a person and helping them to focus on working through their needs is so important. Providing a safe and judgement free space for each person to explore any topic they need to discuss is paramount to working together so that the person is able to be the best version of themselves. Therapy is a collaborative process of working towards and on change and improvement in well being and life choices.
