I have no high school degree and yet earned a Ph.D. in business administration.  I worked as an apprentice and, yet taught MBAs as an adjunct professor.  But once I survived cancer, I reevaluated my live, went back to school, earned a M.A. in Clinical Counseling and never looked back.

I always found purpose in any of my professions, which resulted in increased competence and enjoyment.  I used to wonder about that.  I now recognize that I had always been on the path of becoming a psychotherapist.  Whether working as an apprentice or as a professor, my desire was to bring relief from pressure, chaos and pain.  With end goal of sharing and delivering administrative, academic and emotional comprehension of theories and realities.  Resulting in a joyful and restful calmness in the people I work with.

I like a good challenge.  Always have.  I like seeing people getting support, growing and benefiting from it.  Always have.  And I love it when I have something to do with that.  Always have. 

In my time as a psychotherapist, I have found that I work best with people over 50 and under 30 - to help them overcome whatever ails them.

I have run my own private practice, Safe Haven Counseling, in Hilliard Ohio since 2010.  I have been a part of COCA for several years, I began my involvement to  network with other counselors and to contribute to our counseling community.  I am certified in EMDR, trained thru level 3 of the Gottman relationship trainings and I have my LPCC-S. I enjoy attending new trainings to keep me fresh and current in the field. I am currently learning more about Internal Family Systems.  My practice currently is composed of couples and individuals. 

I'm a new para-counseling coordinator for an afterschool program.  This has launched me passionately into finding out more about my job from many angles.  I look forward to networking!
