Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I received my M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Cincinnati and received a Bachelor of Science from The Ohio State University. I have been helping adults, children, and families for 18 years. I delight in guiding clients to find the answers that they seek and enjoy helping clients find the healing and restoration that are looking for. I believe that people can benefit from discovering the cycles and patterns in their lives that they want to change. I empower clients to make those changes so that clients can live their best lives.
