With over a decade of experience in the field, I have been working in substance use disorder treatment since 2012 and in mental health care since 2022. I am a licensed clinician in Ohio with 16 years of professional experience supporting individuals through addiction, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, motivation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and building confidence.
I believe you are the expert of your own story, and that you already hold strengths that can help you navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing and change. My role is to support you in recognizing, strengthening, and building upon those strengths at a pace that feels right for you.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes real courage. I’m glad you’re here, and I look forward to walking alongside you in your journey.

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.
