Congratulations on making the decision to start down the road to change. Therapy is work, and you will be challenged during your journey. Whether you are trying to change your mindset and accept who you are and what you have survived or are trying to navigate difficult times, your therapy will be customized to meet your needs. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to collaborate with clients to set and accomplish goals.

The majority of the work I have done as a counselor has been crisis work either in a crisis facility or working with various law enforcement agencies. I have also worked in private practice, emergency rooms, and community agencies, either focusing on the acutely mentally ill or adults and juveniles who have been court-ordered to attend therapy. I have experience working with individuals from all different age ranges who have a variety of different mental health disorders: including paraphilias, substance use disorders, personality disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, behavioral and impulse control disorders and or thought disorders like schizoaffective disorder. I am aligned with the LBGTQIA community, the juvenile justice system, the federal and state courts, and various other community organizations in both Ohio and Michigan.
