Depression Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

The majority of my clients are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression , mood swings or ADHD. They are wrestling with the challenges of daily life, and are seeking a sustainable path forward. They are motivated to identify and use their existing strengths in order to make positive change. My clients are seeking strategies to bring balance into their lives, and to increase their ability to be resilient. My clients are looking to become more skillful responders to the often chaotic world in which we live, and they are seeking practical strategies for self-care in difficult moments.

I believe therapy should be tailored as a unique experience to fit the client, just as each client is unique. I see the process of therapy as holding a safe and sacred space, where a therapeutic alliance is built between client and therapist, enabling clients to express themselves authentically, share their struggles, create goals, and overcome obstacles; leading each person to be the best version of themselves. As a therapist, I strive to be there each step of the way providing competence, support, and encouragement, to not only overcome obstacles, but to also find meaning in the journey.

I work with individual adults and couples on the changes they'd like to see in their lives, whether it be addressing stress, conflict, depression , behavioral concerns, fears and worries, loss, anger, recovery, the past, parenting, or simply wanting to continue growing emotionally. I approach therapy with great compassion and respect for those who seek it. I provide a safe space to talk about whatever's on your mind. I offer short-term practical help as well as more in-depth exploration.

I enjoy working with any person who is motivated to overcome issues such as depression , anxiety, relationship problems, or more severe disorders. In my 26 years in practice as a psychologist, I am frequently reminded of the importance of not being so problem-focused that one forgets to look at the person's strengths, which are the most valuable tools for recovery and personal growth. I feel privileged to be invited by clients to join them on their journey of growth, healing and discovery.

I am committed to helping people find the strength inside of them to triumph in relationships, overall functioning and living a balanced life. I have worked with young children, adolescents, adults, family and specialized groups. Clients have presented with issues such as anxiety, depression , communication problems, marital concerns, parenting, ADHD, eating disorders, grief/loss, self-injury and social skills development. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship helping drive individuals and families to reach their full potential and live a life void of unresolved issues.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in strengthening relationships in children, teens and adults with anxiety, depression and behavioral difficulties, I have been providing clients with the means to express their concerns through Trauma Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person Centered Therapy.

I love working with individuals and couples who are seeking ways to improve the way they experience life. Sometimes we can get stuck in an ineffective pattern in our relationships or just the way we manage stress and the obstacles life throws at all of us. Hearing peoples stories is essential in putting all the pieces together. I am a skilled and compassionate listener and would love to help you figure out how to achieve your goals. I've worked effectively with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression , personality disorders, trauma and marital conflicts.

Traditionally trained in psychodynamic and CBT. However, clients who are open to an overarching paradigm of spiritual/energy concepts have proven to benefit the most from CognoSpiritual Psychotherapy which I developed to address clinical issues, e.g., anxiety, depression , grief, trauma, and other psychological/emotional issues associated with living and working in this world. A fundamental assumption of the paradigm is that "God" is spirit/energy in All things, people, situations (omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent energy), not limited to man-made divisions of faith and practice.
