Work at the pace you set. I will teach you what I know, point out the progress you are standing too close to see, and stay alongside you while you practice something different. Setbacks come with this and I will never treat them as failure. You do not need the right words to start, or a tidy version of the story.

Calm, warm, and a good deal easier to talk to than they expected. A few have said funnier. What I hear most often is that they felt accepted rather than assessed. Over seventeen years people have thanked me for helping them build a kind of confidence they had not believed was still available to them.

Are grieving. Living with what someone close to them did. Trying to repair a relationship that still matters. Parents of small children, and parents of grown ones. Women carrying far more than they ever say out loud. Separation and divorce, and the particular loneliness of a family that changed shape without asking you.

I have always wanted to understand how a person builds a life that actually fits them, and how the people around them either hold that up or slowly wear it down. I have led a grief support group and spent years alongside people who were badly hurt by someone they trusted. That work is why I am still doing this.

I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Capital University and I am a Licensed Social Worker in Ohio, with seventeen years in practice. I see adults individually, in person here in Dayton or by telehealth anywhere in Ohio. Never Give Up is the guiding message at NGU Wellness, and it is not just decorative.
