Finding a therapist you feel comfy with can be challenging. The stress of finding the right fit might even be keeping you from scheduling that first appointment.
I know worrying every damn day is exhausting. It feels like you're stuck in your head, and your thoughts are a jumbled mess. You don't like uncertainty, yet everything seems out of control. You want to feel normal and aren't sure what that means anymore. You're trying to hide your feelings from everyone, and that's getting harder. You're arguing with the people close to you, sleeping too much or not enough, and feeling antsy. You didn't ask for this, but here it is.

My clients come to me because they're ready to do something different and they've realized they need help. A few words I would use to describe them; brave, persistent, and powerful. It takes a lot of courage to make the first step to finding a therapist and this is only the beginning of the work but it's one of the most important parts.

I recognize that asking for help can be difficult to do, but you don't have to navigate problems alone. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Ohio with subspecialty training in child and adolescent psychology, I strive to provide a warm, empathetic, and collaborative approach to earn each client’s trust. I understand each individual is unique, and do my best to ensure a therapeutic environment that accommodates to the different ways that people view the world and cope with life stressors.

"Getting Well to be Whole"..I believe in working together to find an individual solution to the problem(s) you are experiencing. Whether it is a mood disorder, low self-value, boundary setting, family issues, etc., we get to the source of the issue and set obtainable goals to achieve the relief you need and want. I believe there is a deeper, spiritual component to each one of us, to be whole from our inner being outward. There is a freedom to be had from our worries and symptomology, and we will work to find that freedom.

I help people navigate a range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, anger and various life situations. My approach is grounded in psychoanalysis, which can be especially helpful for those dealing with trauma, recurring patterns of anxiety or depression, or feeling stuck in life. It’s also great for people who struggle to understand or manage their behaviors, or who haven’t found relief from their distress. As we work together, I aim to create a space where you feel supported and understood, so we can explore your experiences and emotions more deeply, and find ways to bring you relief and a sense of control.

I believe that no two people are just alike. As a result, I take a prescriptive approach to helping clients in therapy. Techniques and interventions are tailored to an individual's situations, strengths, and supports. YOU are the expert of your own life. My role is to help you establish goals, identify barriers to those goals, and develop solutions to overcome those barriers. In all honesty, counseling can be a lot of work, and it does take time.

Hello! I understand you may be facing numerous challenges in your life that have led you here. Whether something occurred in your past or more recently, it has likely triggered flashbacks, anxiety, depression, stress, relational difficulties, work-related issues, or an overall sense of being overwhelmed. You might have sought therapy previously without finding lasting relief, finding yourself inundated once again with memories and negative thoughts. I teach each client in their 1st session how to control their symptoms through amazing neuroscience techniques. If traditional talk therapy didn't help, I can!

I thrive when working with clients who enjoy a goal directed, supportive approach that helps them clarify what they value most and what they want to draw into their lives. My sessions are interactive and focused on what is important to my clients to create the life they want to live. I explain my role as a therapist and encourage clients to share what they are hoping to achieve in therapy. I personalize interventions for each client.

Life can be extremely difficult to navigate at times, especially during major transitions. These moments can significantly impact our well-being, especially if we lack the proper tools to manage them. My ideal client might feel overwhelmed by life's stressors and is seeking a way to cope with feelings of depression, anxiety, or trauma. They want to understand their emotions better, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and ultimately achieve a more fulfilling and happier life.

You make sense. I know it doesn't always feel that way; it often feels like no one understands why you do what you do, sometimes even including you. It's a lonely and disheartening feeling. I create a safe and judgment-free space for individuals and couples to discover, make sense of, and shift out of what is driving the stuckness. Together we will break patterns and heal parts of yourself you lost contact with along the way.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
