APPROACH

YOUR GROWTH IS THE GOAL...

I provide a warm and encouraging environment for those who are seeking not only to better understand themselves and their problems, but who also desire accountability and support as they work through their struggles and achieve their personal goals. I believe that compassionate care, intentional listening, insightful feedback, constructive teaching, timely challenge, and wise counsel are all important components when working  to achieve a safe and helpful therapeutic alliance. 

I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure.  I employ a variety of techniques to help facilitate healing in my clients, and I am open to adapting my approach in order for my clients to not only experience growth and healing, but to also live in freedom AND with hope.

As a follower of Christ, I view the world and our problems through the lens of the Gospel and if desired, I can incorporate this faith-based approach into my clinical work with you. Most importantly though, as a clinical and ethical counselor licensed by the State of Ohio, I want to meet you where YOU are! No matter your spiritual belief system, journey, or background, I want to provide services based on YOUR beliefs, not mine!  As a team, we will work together to identify YOUR goals, values, preferences, and needs in order to achieve the change that YOU desire.

I consider it both a joy and privilege to come alongside those who need a listening ear, a helping heart, and a guiding voice, and I am confident that change and growth are ALWAYS possible when hope abounds.
