Hi! I know everyone’s stories and their paths to emotional and mental wellness are also different. I have extensive training, tools, and techniques to help everyone on their journey. I am a licensed professional counselor with the state of Ohio’s Counseling, Social Worker, Marriage & Family Therapist Board. I’ve been counseling since 2009, and I received my bachelor’s degree from Chatham University and my master’s degrees from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (M. Div.) and Ohio University (M. Ed). I also hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision from Ohio University.
I am trained by The Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the use of CBT to address suicide prevention. I use artistic techniques, bibliotherapy, and other creative processes to assist my clients in the therapeutic process. I am very interested in existential and holistic counseling practices within a biopsychosocial framework, and I have experience working with cardiovascular rehabilitation patients and teaching communication skills. I am also passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community, especially with persons identifying as transgender or non-conforming identity.
I am married to a cartoonist, have a cat, and I enjoy reading.
Please reach out anytime – I look forward to connecting with you.
