Therapists in Ohio

Insurance accepted for individuals through Headway. Welcome. People choose to speak with a counselor for many reasons. Perhaps one of these following reasons describes you: -I want to feel better -I keep repeating patterns that aren't good for me or my loved ones -We are struggling and considering marriage counseling -We want support for amicably redefining our relationship -I over-react and that is causing problems -I am grieving and my world has changed -I can’t get over something Does this describe you? If you want to explore what is possible, I invite you to be in touch.

You are not a problem to be solved. In a warm, professional, and safe environment, I can help you learn to better handle your emotional or psychological pain with compassion while developing the skills and resources to make positive changes in your life. I utilize a nonjudgmental approach with open curiosity and evidence-based interventions to overcome obstacles and help you achieve a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

No matter the circumstances, the facts remain the same: our bodies are designed to keep us safe and reduce discomfort. Issues arise when we are no longer needing to seek safety yet unknowingly maintain these unhelpful patterns of beliefs and behaviors. Our unconscious attempts to insulate ourselves from harm turn into patterns that destroy the connections to ourselves and others that we desire most. My goal is to provide a therapeutic relationship for clients as they gain understanding and develop new beliefs and behaviors to transform their lives, reach their goals and have the relationships they ultimately desire.

I am passionate about the transformative power of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) to help couples reconnect and stop their negative cycle of painful disconnection, conflict, anger and hurt. EFT combines theory and structure into an effective model that helps guide couples back to a secure and loving relationship. I use EFT because I’ve seen its powerful results in couples’ lives. EFT has shown unparalleled success in helping distressed couples to restore and deepen their emotional connection.

Life can be challenging! Your pain does not define you or own you. Let me help you to find abilities that will lead to a meaningful and joyful life. Together we will explore your story, at your pace, as I serve as a guide and support on your journey to growth, healing, and wellness. We will honor you as a unique individual with unique needs and create a treatment plan specific to you and what is best for you. As a licensed counselor, I will introduce you to valuable tools and practices that are based on scientific research and proven therapies to directly address the challenges that may have hindered you from living your best life.
