About Me and My Approach

Empowering Solutions Counseling Services LLC is dedicated to providing online therapy services that focus on building and maintaining encouragement, hope, support, and overall life fulfillment. My goal is to empower individuals to overcome challenges, discover their inner strength, and lead fulfilling lives. Through a compassionate and client-centered approach, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for personal growth and healing.

​

I am a licensed therapist in the state of Ohio with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients cope with addiction use disorders both in an in-patient and out-patient setting, work through trauma and abuse, increase motivation, self esteem and confidence, work through relationship problems, and gain skills needed to cope with depression and anxiety. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion.

​

I offer a solution focused environment. I understand that when people come to me for help, they are looking to improve their lives in some way and I am here to help them do that. I believe that people must be met with empathy, compassion and the safety that it takes to open up and work through their barriers in life.

​

Taking the first step to seek therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! My hope is that together, we can explore skills to help you put your best foot forward and start feeling like the best version of yourself. Whether that includes processing and healing from your past or learning skills to be more present now, you're not alone.
