Milan was founded in 1831 by Harmon Allen, Bethuel Hack, and John Marvin. As the first postmaster, Hack named the city Farmer because everyone there was a farmer but then drug store owner, Henry Tolan took his job and renamed the city Tolanville. Next came David Woodard who renamed it Woodard’s Mills and when the Washington D.C. postmaster noticed, he put an end to the name-changing by renaming it Milan after the neighboring Milan Township.

Sometimes you just need a change and if you need help changing things you may need to talk to someone who can help. Whether it is a familial, job, or environmental change, talking to a professional counselor or therapist can help. Luckily, there are many in the Milan area who are available now.

I work with clients experiencing previous or on-going trauma, and those simply looking for direction. Whether the change you desire for yourself is large or small, we each have the capacity to live a satisfying and positive life. My approach is a blend of psychodynamic, existential, cognitive behavioral and client-centered. I meet each client where they are and strive to provide an open, accepting and safe space that makes sharing comfortable and a good place to build on strengths and examine new possibilities.
