About

Find a more optimistic way of looking at yourself, differences included!

My clients often reach out for help due to difficulties at home, work, and in relationships. I help my clients see the strengths & skills they already possess to manage life's difficulties. Whether the goal is to learn new coping strategies, unpack a new diagnosis, or to learn strategies to manage your energy as a limited resource, my goal is to meet you where you are and support you along the way. I am a Clinical Social Worker (LISW-S) that has 15+ years experience supporting clients and providing clinical, administrative and training supervision for other therapists. Experiences of shame, self-frustration, and poor, previous experiences with therapy can be common experiences for ADHD'ers & Autistics. I provide Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy and help you feel seen & understood. I offer in-person (Dayton OH) or telehealth video sessions (Ohio). I currently accept several private insurances through Headway Co. If you are interested in using private insurance, I can provide a link from Headway to check if I accept your insurance. Please note for new client inquiries - due to volume of inquiries received, phone is not the best way to reach me. Please contact me at info@wellnesswithami.com or by the Contact button above if you would like more information about availability or with any questions. Spruce, my Certified Therapy Dog, loves to join session when possible! You are the expert of your own life and should find the best therapy fit for you. It can be anxiety provoking to reach out for help and open up to a new stranger. I understand how that feels and will do my best to make you feel safe and comfortable from our first interaction!
