If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or eating issues, I would love to help you! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in Ohio with 20 years of experience in the field of mental health. For many of those years, I worked in a community mental health setting and developed an expertise in helping people with anxiety and depression. I also have a health coaching background and have spent the last several years helping women with various eating and weight issues, such as emotional eating and overeating. I provide a warm and non judgemental environment in which you can feel safe to explore these sensitive issues. I use a combination of evidence based approaches to help you develop new skills and coping strategies so that you can feel a sense of control and confidence. It IS possible to change and to build the life you so deeply deserve. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m here!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I will provide a warm and supportive space in which you can explore your current struggles and identify what you want to accomplish during your time in therapy. Then, we’ll identify options and strategies you can use to attain your goals. You will leave feeling a sense of hope and already equipped with 1-2 tools to start practicing right away.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I approach every client with great empathy and curiosity. I love to help people explore their issues and challenges, and am very good at helping them to actually move forward and create change in their lives.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with people who want to reach their full potential in life, but feel stuck and held back by their struggles with anxiety, depression, or eating issues. My clients really want to change and to feel better, but don’t yet have the tools needed to make their goals a reality. They are willing and eager to put into practice what we discuss in therapy. I really enjoy working with women in midlife who are facing challenges related to eating, weight issues, and life transitions.
