Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Columbus, OH
My focus is on a variety of life issues that impede the unique potential of the individual. These include substance abuse and dependency, Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, depression, and trauma as well as major life events that happen to us all. I works with people from all walks of life including children, couples, and adults. My approach to counseling is person centered / existential and is concerned primarily with a person’s goals, aspirations, and realization of meaning. I view life “problems” not as impediments to attaining goals but as opportunities.

My passion and commitment are to helping individuals and couples become whole in every area of their lives so that they can be the best versions of themselves. I lead each session with empathy, warmth, and focus so that we can get to the “root" of the problem, which often leads to additional stress, depression, and anxiety. My grounding belief is that we are all broken in different ways and in different places, but you do not have to remain broken.

I have a casual approach and use a lot of humor in sessions, but don't let that fool you.

Are you feeling weighed down in life? Like you keep giving to others but aren't getting anything back? You cannot pour from an empty cup. That is why I stress wellness practices and taking care of yourself just like you take care of others. It's just like when you're on an airplane, they always advise you to put on your oxygen mask before you help others put theirs on. It can be hard to prioritize yourself when you aren't used to it, but I promise it is worth it.

Relationship distress can start for a variety of reasons and sometimes quietly. Have you have noticed difficulty in staying connecting with and understanding one another? Finding yourself having the same arguments on a consistent basis? Felt a slow estrangement or resentment creep in? The relationship distress can be sudden or pervasive, such as needing to recover from an affair or damage from an addiction.

None of my clients are failures or broken because they choose to come to counseling. In fact, I believe everyone grows up learning unspoken rules about what they should and shouldn’t do as a decent human being, when in reality, there’s a lot of rules that simply need to be readjusted. If you're currently struggling with your past, present, or future, let me take some of the burden off your shoulders. I currently am scheduling individual adults, couples, and college students. I especially love to help individuals struggling with relationships issues and folks with low self-esteem/confidence.

I believe that ALL people are the experts of their own lives and sometimes need a little help making decisions, feeling heard, or just need to get things off their chest. I offer individual, family, pre-marital, and group counseling, and coaching services to people of all ages.

What I love most about being a therapist is helping people transform their lives in ways they never thought possible. I have the privilege of guiding clients through moments of rediscovery — when they reconnect with their inner strength, challenge long-standing patterns, and begin to feel whole again. I work primarily with adults, couples, and older adults, helping them heal from narcissistic abuse, complex trauma, grief, anger, and unhealthy relationship dynamics.
