As a licensed therapist in Ohio with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. I hold licenses in New York, Minnesota, and Utah as well. My practice centers on helping clients navigate emotional landscapes, including depression, anxiety, stress, and significant life transitions. I offer compassionate guidance for those struggling with self-love, communication difficulties, isolation, and personal growth.
My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I have extensive experience supporting women, young adults, and older clients through diverse challenges such as workplace stress, chronic health conditions, family conflicts, and personal transformation. Whether you're dealing with grief, seeking purpose, or working through interpersonal dynamics, I provide a supportive and understanding therapeutic environment.
I am committed to helping clients develop resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and discover meaningful strategies for emotional healing. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering professional insights and genuine support as you navigate your personal growth and wellness journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
