I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a founder of Hope Restored Counseling Services. With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from Xavier University. I believe that each person has the power to make changes and the ability to transform their own life. My goal is to facilitate growth through a caring approach that balances processing core issues, exploring feelings and making a plan for change.
I am committed to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges through evidence-based therapeutic techniques. I work with adults, teens, and children, addressing a variety of challenges, including depression and ADHD. I also work extensively with people struggling with anxiety, including social anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
I bring decades of experience, advanced clinical expertise and insight to my work with individuals and families navigating the autism spectrum. I take a collaborative approach, working closely with parents of children and teens with ADHD and autism to support the entire family unit.
I also specialize in supporting neurodivergent couples, specifically couples where a partner has ADHD and/or autism. My work focuses on helping them overcome communication barriers, reduce frustration, strengthen mutual understanding and build stronger connections.
I create a safe and supportive environment where clients can openly explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I believe strongly in the power of therapeutic relationships and I partner with my clients to develop personalized treatment plans that promote healing, growth and resilience.
Beyond my clinical work, I am an active community advocate, presenting at professional speaking engagements on autism and serving on local boards to improve schools and advance mental health initiatives.
