I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with 33 years experience serving Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I specialize in helping adults dealing with Adjustment Disorders, Anxiety, ADHD, Depression, Complex Trauma, Family Conflict, Mood Disorders and Self Esteem issues. I have a passion for working with individuals who have been affected by trauma. The therapeutic session is a collaborative, nonjudgmental sphere where you can become open to share and achieve positive thoughts, aspirations, healthy patterns, and a more peaceful existence. I offer a variety of approaches
I offer a variety of approaches to ensure an individualized therapeutic experience with use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindbody Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I am experienced with working with all age groups from 18 and up through adulthood.
I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and accompanying them on their journey toward healing and growing. Among my interests are helping people with Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression , and Adjustment Disorder. I also have a trauma informed approach to therapy.

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.
