Compassion Focused Therapists in 43209

I’m committed to providing my full attention and support in helping people work toward positive changes that align with their own values and goals. I work with adults and adolescents, and I take an eclectic and holistic approach to help with concerns that may include mental health, stress, trauma, grief, addiction, relationships, or adjusting to life changes. This may be a matter of short-term counseling to strengthen coping skills or overcome a specific challenge, or more in-depth therapy to better understand and resolve deeper patterns and issues.

I am growing my practice & accepting new clients! Life can be a winding road full of opportunities and challenges. Through sessions together you will have a supportive space to process and overcome challenges. At my practice, Ohio Counseling & Consultation Services, I see clients of all backgrounds. I offer therapeutic services that allow for a collaborative approach to healing that is grounded in empowerment and goal fulfillment. I specialize in a strengths-based approach to therapy. When meeting together, I strive to highlight your growth in session with a positive caring approach.

My therapist taught me how to love myself—and by extension, my life partner, my kids, and everyone else! It is possible, no matter where you're starting from, to have less inner conflict, less outer conflict, and more love, peace, calm, and creativity in your life. And if you’re a woman with ADHD, I can help with that too. Your life doesn’t have to feel chaotic, and you don’t have to call yourself names (lazy, careless, stupid) to get things done. Whether I see you one-on-one or with an important other, I will meet you with compassion, hope, and acceptance. Because we all deserve not just to survive, but to thrive.

Making the decision to get profoundly honest and commit to change takes a lot of strength and courage. If you've landed on this being ultimately the only way to start making positive shifts in your life, we have the potential for a rewarding relationship. Are you having difficulty communicating in a way that leads to progress? Is setting boundaries or consistently maintaining them a challenge? Are you a people-pleaser or perfectionist? Can you accept and give feedback in a way that feels productive? If these are areas of struggle, let's figure out ways of maneuvering through these issues together.

People try to make sense of their world as they perceive it. This is why people struggle with depression, anxiety, emotional regulation and expression, addiction, etc. Overall, I believe people want to understand what makes them who they are. Through understanding their struggles and being able to choose different ways of thinking, acting, and feeling, people can learn to be the best version of themselves.
