Are you noticing the same patterns showing up in your life and relationships—no matter how much you try to change them?
At some point, insight alone isn’t enough. You may understand why you do what you do, but still feel stuck repeating it.
I work with adults who are ready to go deeper than surface-level coping. Together, we look at how your past experiences, family dynamics, and internal patterns are shaping your current life - often in ways that are hard to see on your own.

I mainly use cognitive behavioral therapy, which means we look at how your thoughts feelings & behaviors influence each other, & where things are getting stuck.
Most people who reach out to me are not looking for someone to just listen. They are looking for help that actually leads somewhere and for someone to be beside them as they move forward. I offer online therapy for people who need that, specifically couples, parents, and people across Ohio, dealing with anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

Do you feel emotionally defeated? Are you a family member, or is your marriage in crisis? I offer older teens, adults, and couples effective strategies that give hope. I believe a Therapist must provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where a client feels free to engage in the treatment process that leads to emotional healing, restoration, and life transformation. I am committed to providing that environment so that you can enter into that process, and together we can discuss those challenges as we work on mutually agreed-upon solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
