Telehealth Mental Health Counseling in Ohio
With over 30 years of experience in social work and mental health counseling, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, families, and couples navigate life's challenges. Since earning my Master's degree from The Ohio State University in 1993 and obtaining independent licensure (LISW) in Ohio in 1995, I have worked across diverse settings including public schools, medical institutions, and private practice. My approach combines clinical expertise with compassionate care, utilizing evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy to address a wide range of mental health concerns. I specialize in creating personalized treatment plans that meet clients where they are, whether addressing anxiety, life transitions, or relationship dynamics. Telehealth services provide accessible care across Ohio, maintaining the same therapeutic rigor as in-person sessions through HIPAA-compliant platforms.My practice emphasizes client autonomy, confidentiality, and empowerment, with flexible payment options to accommodate individual needs. Having worked with clients from age 4 to 83, I understand the unique mental health requirements at every life stage. Professional affiliations with institutions like Nationwide Children's Hospital and Kenyon College have enriched my perspective on community mental health needs. I maintain active engagement with evolving therapeutic methodologies while prioritizing client-centered care over generic solutions. My commitment to discreet, nonjudgmental support has earned consistent recognition from clients who value authentic therapeutic partnerships.
