Turning Point Psychotherapy & Assessment

As a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I founded my private practice in Defiance, Ohio in 2012. My practice focuses on empowering adults through solution-focused therapy for depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and life transitions. I hold a Doctor of Psychology degree from Wright State University and am licensed in both Ohio and Michigan. My PSYPACT certification enables me to provide telehealth services across multiple U.S. states, ensuring accessibility for diverse clients including members of the LGBT+ community. I combine evidence-based practices with compassionate support to help clients transform challenges into personal growth opportunities. My approach emphasizes building trust through nonjudgmental listening and collaborative goal-setting.

With expertise in treating chronic pain and diversity-related issues, I am committed to delivering personalized care that respects each client's unique circumstances. My professional journey since obtaining my license in 2005 has been driven by a belief in the human spirit's capacity for resilience and transformation. I maintain active memberships in the American Psychological Association and Ohio Psychological Association, staying current with best practices in mental health care. My practice integrates modern technology with traditional therapeutic methods, offering secure online counseling through HIPAA-compliant platforms.
