- LISW
As a licensed therapist in Ohio, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging life transitions, heal from past traumas, and develop deeper self-understanding.
I specialize in addressing mood disorders, attachment challenges, and other mental health concerns. My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each individual's unique journey, with a strong commitment to creating a supportive, non-judgmental therapeutic environment.
My expertise spans a wide range of areas including depression, anxiety, life purpose exploration, and healing from traumatic experiences. I'm particularly passionate about supporting young adults and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds as they work through personal growth, relationship dynamics, and emotional resilience.
I believe in empowering clients to reconnect with their inherent strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being. Together, we'll work collaboratively to help you move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
