As a practical and solution-oriented therapist, I will work with you to better understand and resolve challenges in your life – whether they are long standing patterns resulting from life histories, or a practical, “in the moment” problem arising from the stressors of daily life.  My warm and accepting style will help guide you through life’s difficult terrain.
My approach is collaborative and interactive, which lowers the challenge of exploring the many facets of one’s personality. I work with stress, anxiety and depression as well as difficulties associated with emotional regulation. In addition, I have worked with grief/loss, couples counseling, domestic violence, behavioral problems, cross cultural/diversity education along with motivation and wellness issues. I have extensive experience with life transitions and relationship issues and enjoy working with families and couples.  Due to my extensive work with people with major mental health diagnoses, I have a great deal of experience counseling their family members and can assist with the navigation through various social systems that can otherwise be confusing and frustrating.  I am also ready to provide support with people with chronic health issues, as I am familiar with the local healthcare resources. I am a graduate of Washington University of St. Louis and The University of Akron where I interned at LifeCare Hospice and Summa Wadsworth Hospital.  As the Director of Employment Services at The Counseling Center of Wayne and Holmes Counties, I developed a particular interest in career issues.
I enjoy working with children, teens and adults of all ages.  What ever your reasons for seeking therapy, I will provide you with a personal plan to meet your specific needs.  I have day and evening office hours and can be reached at (330) 345-8450 to schedule an appointment.
