Some of the points of interest in the town of Kent, Ohio include the Cuyahoga River, Main Street Bridge and Dam, Kent Hall, Dix Stadium, the Franklin Hotel, Star of the West Mill, and the Erie Depot. Even though they do a lot of manufacturing there, the townsfolk have prided themselves on keeping the green spaces alive. 

In fact, there are 19 parks and preservations with lakes, ponds, trails, and they even host festivals such as folk music, Fourth of July, and Earth Day celebrations. There are also many miles of hiking and biking trails in town to keep in shape and get back to nature. With all this nature, you may not expect to need a therapist, but if you do, there are plenty to choose from in Kent.

My counseling approach/style comes from a client/person-centered, Humanistic, non-judgmental point of view. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and that every person has the ability – within themselves – to not only enact change, but be their own change agent. I have 14 years experience in the behavioral health field (mental health, substance use, and co-occurring) in counseling individuals, couples, and children and families as well. I hope to help those on BetterHelp recognize the strengths within themselves and how they can use those strengths to make the progress they wish to see in themselves.
