Who I work with…

I work with ADULTS during major life transitions, while recovering from a traumatic event, and those left with lingering anxiety and overwhelm after trauma or complex relational stressors.  

The clients I work with live in either Ohio or Michigan, are OK using virtual services, and are OK NOT using their insurance for therapy (I am self-pay only, see fees here).

I work best with clients who are motivated to address what is keeping them stuck, even when it's uncomfortable. They are willing to face their trauma to get to the other side. They are conscientious and make their treatment a top priority. They expect results, and are willing and ready to work hard, dig deep and find healing.

The most common diagnoses I treat are:

·       ​Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders (PTSD, Adjustment Disorder, Prolonged Grief Disorder)

·       Anxiety Disorders including Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Who I do not work with…

I have specialized skills in treating the above conditions and am committed to continuing education and training in these areas. Because of this narrow focus, I am unable to stay abreast of new developments in other related fields. For these reasons, there are certain conditions and/or age groups that I do NOT treat.

If the person seeking services is a child/young teen or if your primary reason for seeking assistance is related to one of the following conditions or situations, I will probably not be a good fit:

·    Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders

·    Dissociative Disorders

·    Eating Disorders

·    Personality Disorders

·    Active Substance Use Disorders

·    Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders like Intermittent Explosive Disorder

·    Excuse notes for time off from work

·    Letters for emotional support animals

·    Legal involvement
