- LPCC
Hey there! I'm an independently licensed therapist in Ohio with 10+ years of experience working with emerging adults. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients explore self-love, improve communication, and address feelings of isolation and shame. With a deep understanding of LGBTQ+ experiences, I offer compassionate guidance for those wrestling with life transitions, stress, anxiety, and challenges related to self-esteem.
My therapeutic practice is grounded in creating a progressive, affirming space where individuals can authentically explore their personal growth and emotional well-being. I believe in empowering clients to develop meaningful insights, build resilience, and cultivate a stronger sense of purpose and connection.
Through collaborative and personalized support, I aim to help you develop effective coping strategies, heal from past experiences, and move toward a more fulfilling life. My commitment is to walk alongside you with respect, understanding, and genuine care as you navigate your unique journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
