Therapy is a safe, confidential place to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, lived experiences, relationship with yourself, and connections with people in your life. With the right therapeutic relationship, it can be a healing journey. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, with supervision designation, and a fervent mental health advocate. I believe you are the expert of your own life and I am here to guide and support you with my knowledge, experience, and training. As Lisa Olivera said, "Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you, doesn't mean you can, should, or need to do it alone." I specialize in helping older teens, young adults, and adults explore the impact of their lived experiences, past and present, on their self, mental health, and well-being. I take a client-centered, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach with my clients to create personalized plans to manage difficult and painful experiences, emotions, and stressors. Your bravery in reaching out does not go unnoticed. Our goal is to, together, create a safe, open, trusting, supportive, and confidential environment for you to feel seen and heard, and to address your needs, stressors, thoughts, and feelings. I welcome you to schedule an appointment and see if you feel my therapeutic style is a good fit for you. *I am licensed in my home state, Ohio, where I can see clients via Telehealth or in person; I am also licensed in Massachusetts (LMHC10003070) and I can see clients via telehealth in Massachusetts as of October 2024!*
