Therapists in University, Columbus, OH

I possess an authentic ability to empathize with others by offering unconditional compassion towards every person, regardless of their walk of life. My goal is to empower my clients in developing the self-compassion and confidence to make healthy changes and increase quality of life. My years in the field have been spent working with diverse groups, including LGBTQIA+ individuals, trauma survivors, and those struggling with various mental health issues.

Currently accepting new clients in Ohio. I support individuals who want to make changes in their mental health, by helping them build resiliency against the inevitable stressors of life. I believe each individual has the ability to heal from their painful experiences and improve their lives, and aim to give them the tools and support for that journey. I want to promote a greater sense of balance and wholeness that stays with clients well after our work together is over. I specialize in trauma (specifically developmental trauma), attachment, anxiety, and concerns related to eating/body image.

***Immediate openings for 7/30/21*** With 30 years of experience, I bring a lot of breadth and depth to my clinical work with clients presenting with a wide range of mental health concerns. I approach my work with clients from a Client-Centered perspective integrating cognitive-behavioral, brief-solution focused, and Interpersonal processing perspectives and techniques. I also like to engage my clients in existential thought to explore what provides meaning and purpose in their lives as unique individuals and integrate Logotherapy and other meaning and purpose based philosophies into my practice.

Hello and kudos to you for taking an interest in therapy! My aim in working with each of my clients is to create a space in which they feel safe to express their troubles and try new strategies to make life changes. I strive to be accepting, understanding, and challenging in my work and tailor therapy to each person I work with.

Are you tired, stressed, filled with anxiety or wanting to move forward from past experiences? My job is to help individuals gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I believe that every distressing or wounding experience deserves time, space and a safe place to heal.

Reaching out for therapeutic support is a courageous step. I am honored to support you in the next steps of your therapeutic journey. In our sessions together, you will have a confidential and compassionate space to process thoughts, feelings, concerns, and fears. I will work with you to identify measurable goals to create a clear and achievable path. Through this process, we will ease difficult feelings, while strengthening confidence and calm. My greatest reward as a therapist is supporting clients in finding their own process, recognizing their strengths, and looking forward to the future with confidence and hope.

If you’re reading this, I congratulate you on your courage to seek help. Your empowerment, relationships, and well-being are my priority. I view well-being holistically: body, behaviors, thoughts, feelings, social support, work, home, upbringing, culture, race, gender, etc. all contribute to wellness. In therapy, I honor your concerns with unconditional acceptance and collaboration. My theoretical orientation blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

Taking the step to engage in therapy takes courage. It shows that you value yourself and your relationships enough to heal and improve your way of being in the world. I work with clients every week who are wanting to live into the best version of themselves. I see them putting in the work, healing and transforming. I meet clients where they are at, offering homework, resources and out-of session exercises to clients wanting to expedite the healing process. We can work as slowly or as intensively as you would like. I place great emphasis on the importance of clients feeling safe within the context of our relationship.

A myriad of reasons can lead someone to therapy. What if you aren't necessarily struggling, but you just want to know yourself better? Maybe you're an intellectually curious person who's tried to make sense of things for a while, but you aren't necessarily ill. Therapists can be unsure how to work with this as they're often pathology-based. Philosophy, which ponders the deeper "whys" of things, can help--but it can be overwhelming without a guide. We, as a team, can examine where you are and where you want to go to better refine your personal goals.

Everything you do in life is a "performance" - whether in school, job, or home - and you want to consistently "perform" your best. My goal is to assist you in performing at optimal levels - in relationships, careers, sports, or school. I help you understand who you are, what you desire, and what blocks you from ideal performance. We face these blocks together head on and move to a place where you are living, experiencing and performing YOUR quality life. I have the belief that anything is possible with the right people and the right process.

Life can be challenging, and with the challenges we face it is important to make sure we are attentive to mental health. Sometimes though, we face challenges that require emotional skills and tools that we feel we do not have, and that is where the role of the counselor begins. Through empathy, active listening, and client collaboration, my goal as a counselor is to help clients develop the skills to face the challenges they are struggling with and identify barriers that keep them from achieving their goals. I primarily use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, reality therapy, and family systems.

I am a Clinical Neuropsychologist with expertise in the assessment and diagnosis of cognitive changes from a variety of neurologic disorders including traumatic brain injury (TBI), Stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, FTD, Multiple Sclerosis, and Epilepsy. Prior to moving back to Ohio and establishing an independent practice, I was the Director of Neuropsychology at the Yale School of Medicine Comprehensive Epilepsy Program. I have conducted several independent medical evaluations (IMEs) and have testified as an expert witness in multiple TBI cases. I consult for multiple neurorehabilitation facilities throughout Ohio.

Do you feel stuck, and can't get past something that's holding you back? Do you have panic attacks, flashbacks, or do you feel 'keyed up' much of the time? Are you suffering from the effects of trauma? Do you often feel anxious, and for no reason? Have your relationships suffered because of these symptoms? If so, I can help you. In fact, due to the treatment I offer, many of my clients who suffer from the effects of trauma require less than 10 sessions to experience significant symptom reduction.

I work with children, adults, and elderly in a small comfortable setting, treating behavior problems, depression, anxiety, and helping families plan for end of life issues. My hours are flexible to accommodate work and school schedules. I start appointments as early as 8:30AM, have evening appointments, and am willing to do telephone counseling.

I believe that people have the ability to change and heal through talk therapy. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and warm environment where my clients can become the individuals they want to be. My therapeutic style is an integration of psychodynamic, humanistic, and interpersonal therapies, while always holding cultural identities and values. I use mind/body based practices to help individuals reduce stress and increase their sense of connectedness to themselves and others. I assist my clients in identifying barriers, maximizing their strengths, and building self-compassion from a position of empathy and genuineness.
