About

What is treatment like?

I have significant experience diagnosing and treating the mental health issues of adults and adolescents, specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance use disorders, and relationship difficulties. My approach to therapy is evidence-based treatment supported by research, specifically cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Cognitive behavioral therapy has decades of research support into its efficacy for the treatment of many mental health disorders. In addition, it provides some fairly quick symptom relief- which is obviously helpful! I also prefer to work in a direct and collaborative way with clients. My goal is to work with patients to create an individualized treatment plan unique to the needs of each person, and I strive to create an environment of empathy and warmth. Coming into therapy, I will provide education about symptoms, treatment techniques, and how we will approach treatment goals. Many people find the concept of therapy to be scary and overwhelming. I aim to make it understandable and to instill hope for change. Forms of payment (for copays, deductible, or self-pay) include health savings account, cash, check, and credit card (Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express). The office address is 615 Kingsbury Street, Maumee, OH 43537. It is located within the Adray & Drescher building. Parking is free and readily available directly outside the building. Please call or email us today to schedule an appointment.
