What populations do you work with?

I have the privilege of working with adolescents, ages 14 and up, adults, and couples under license in the state of Ohio. I specialize in helping clients change self destructive behaviors, improve relationships, and find peace in the aftermath of emotional, physical, sexual abuse, high stress, extreme sadness, and low self-esteem. I also do pastoral counseling, life coaching and general mental health counseling.

 

Cost & Payment?

I do not take insurance at this time.

All clients are responsible for full payment of counseling fees on the day of service, unless agreed upon in advance. My hourly fee for professional counseling services is $100.00 per hour.

In the event of financial hardship, prior to counseling, we will discuss alternatives to meet your needs. Currently, I accept cash, check, or money order

 

What do all those letters mean behind your name?

MA stands for Master of Arts. I have two masters' degrees – one in counseling and one in international management. PCC stands for Professional Clinical Counselor, which is the state licensure in Ohio.

 

My friend/co-worker/family member desperately needs to talk to someone. Will you see them?

It is difficult to see a loved one in crisis. If the person in question is willing to talk, then absolutely, I will be happy to work with them. However, if the person you care about is not interested in counseling, I would be happy to talk with you about ways to support them. I request that you not force someone into treatment and respect their right to choose how they deal with their problems.

 

It's after hours and I need help immediately. What should I do?

Please call 911 or go directly to your local hospital emergency room or call the local crisis hotline in your area. For clients in Hamilton County call (513) 281-2273. For non-emergency issues, please leave a message at 513-518-0773 and I will return your call as soon as possible.
