Specialist Wellness Counselor

“Time for you to " Claim IT" with over 15 years in health and wellness, Ph.D PsyD D.D. F.P.L.C. recognized on TV and Magazines,”

About Me

With over 15 years in health and wellness, I offer a grounded, experienced space where you can truly 'claim' your personal well-being. My extensive background, recognised across various platforms, means clients find a counsellor with a deep understanding of complex challenges. We work together to explore your unique path, fostering resilience and clarity. This approach is ideal for those ready to embrace their strengths and move forward with confidence.

Approach

Claiming your strengths becomes a steady, practical process where I guide you through clear, paced steps tailored to the complexity you bring. Sessions in Dayton, Ohio or online in English feel focused and calm—short checkpoints, room for creative shifts, and attentive listening. We set measurable goals, try creative interventions when they suit you, and use trauma-sensitive pacing so between-session steps stay doable and progress becomes clear. This steady, actionable rhythm often helps people managing stress, chronic illness, body image or adolescent transitions to regain confidence and momentum.
