About Pam

I am a clinical mental health and substance abuse therapist with the licensures LPCC, LICDC, in the state of Ohio as well as a certified somatic therapy foundations practitioner. I provide clinical therapy to individuals, couples & families.

I primarily use implementation of evidence-based cognitive, behavioral motivational family systems and reality-based therapeutic tools to support guidance through a journey towards empowerment for a happy healthy balanced well-being.

I close out each session by asking clients if they have any questions, giving a summary wrap-up of the discussion, thanking them for taking a huge step toward the healing process and allowing me to be a part of it, and giving them the steps for setting up follow-up appointments.

"As a person driven by effecting change in humanity, I understand the need for healing in our communities and therefore seek to support healthy positive efforts to be the change that I want to see in the world. "

Some keys experiences that inform my practice as a therapist, surround a nucleus as a mentor and seeing the needs of others to be met at their level, with empathy and support. Seeing communities' needs, inspired me to want to be the change that I want to see in the world.
