As a Summit County local of 30 years, a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, and a single mother of two teenage daughters, I am committed to serving the mountain community that has been my home for so long. I have experience working with individuals and couples in areas that include addiction, alcohol/substance use, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, self- esteem, stress, trauma, and women’s issues. Therapy is a gift you can give yourself that often leads to reduced feelings of distress, increase personal awareness and insight, relationship satisfaction, skills for managing stress, and resolution of specific problems. Real therapy is more than advice – it’s being deeply known in a safe and caring relationship that involves trust, empathy, and human connection. I will provide you with an environment of care, warmth, authenticity, encouragement, and challenge to facilitate your specific needs and goals. I customize your therapy towards your needs, including Psychodynamic, Client-centered, Trauma-informed, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical, Psychoeducation, Addiction treatment, and Gottman Couples Therapy. Do you struggle with feelings of worry, hopelessness, low self-worth, or loss of a sense of self that affects your daily life or ability to be present in your relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or lost in the season of life you are in? There is hope!
