Hi there!

I’m a Clinical Psychologist based in Ohio and I’ve been helping people improve their mental health since 2012. With a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology and Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science, I bring a unique perspective to the table.

My journey to becoming a psychologist started later in life. Before that, I worked as a software engineer in Pittsburgh, PA, and later became a professor of Information Technology for 12 years at Defiance College. Along the way, I also managed to play collegiate basketball at Slippery Rock University (Go Rock!) and completed my Master’s degree in Computer Science at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.

When I’m not working, I’m a proud mother of three amazing children. My oldest is getting married soon, my middle child is always exploring the world, and my youngest is still in high school. Being a mom has taught me so much about patience, resilience, and the importance of building strong relationships. That’s why I’m passionate about providing quality care and support for all my clients on their journey towards better mental health.

My Approach to Therapy

My approach to therapy is centered on empathy and compassion. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard and understood, and I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where my clients can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a daunting experience, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, or any other concerns, I’m committed to helping you find the tools and strategies you need to overcome your challenges and live your best life.

My goal is to provide you with personalized care and support that meets your unique needs. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I’ll work with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings, identify patterns, and develop strategies to help you achieve your desired outcomes.

So if you’re ready to take the first step towards better mental health, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to help you live your best life!
