My educational background includes a PH.D in Clinical Psychology from Walden University, a Master’s degree in Clinical Pastoral Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Baldwin Wallace College. I hope an independent license with supervisory status in Clinical Counseling and Chemical Dependency in the state of Ohio, and I am certified as a life coach, conducting foster care assessments, sex offender treatment, and as a first responder counselor. My areas of specialization encompass trauma work, testing and assessment for ADHD, anxiety related conditions, mood disorders, and Autism, substance abuse, marital counseling, families, personality disorders, and guiding individuals through spiritual direction and seeking growth in their faith.

I’m deeply committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and find the path towards mental, emotional, spiritual, and personal growth. My extensive experience and diverse skill set prepare me to give the support and guidance individuals need on their journey towards a more fulfilling life. Whether you are grappling with trauma, substance abuse, marital issues, or spiritual questions, I am here to walk alongside you, offering a safe and empathetic space for your exploration and growth.
