Therapists in Ohio

I have 30 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples and families with a wide range of complex life circumstances. As a social worker, I pride myself in the ability to look at things from a systemic perspective. No one functions in isolation. I am compassionate and committed to my clients to address their individual needs as no one situation duplicates another. I have worked in a variety of settings: hospital, eating disorder specialty center, residential and private practice. I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, feeding and eating disorders, grief, and families and couples under stress.

Renew Wellness specializes in providing EMDR therapy to individuals who are seeking holistic healing in a safe and welcoming environment. ​ All of the clinicians at Renew Wellness are trained, certified, or are consultants in EMDR therapy. Our clinicians recognize how real change comes from connecting the mind, body, and spirit to improve your overall functioning.

Hi there! I specialize in working with women, moms, and those in helping professions who are experiencing panic, anxiety, irritability/anger, guilt/shame, and trauma. Think BIG emotions that like to run the show, dominate your actions, and take up precious time! Most of my clients come to me to work through anxiety, panic attacks, and/or traumatic experiences (such as birth trauma, miscarriage, secondary trauma due to working as a first responder, or medical trauma).

We are all wired to find equilibrium – the state of rest and balance with our body, mind, and spirit. But sometimes outside influences like relationships, work, money, illnesses, politics, and world issues keep that from happening. We take a few steps forward, only to get pushed back much further. If you find yourself struggling to cope and hold things together in the midst of stress, loss, and/or a radical change, Life is likely calling for you to grow. Engaging in therapy is like going on a journey with a trusted guide who sees, hears, teaches, and supports you wholeheartedly.

I believe we have the innate ability to heal ourselves, whether the issue is fear, anxiety, relationship difficulties, communication problems, chronic illness, or even a major life transition. Whether it is emotional / psychological / relationship, I view these as a call for change, growth and development. My approach with my clients is through a partnership and collaboration that fosters a healing journey, new skills, and a plan for wellness and self development. As a life coach, my specialty areas are: individuals experiencing major life transitions, promoting health and wellness, and recovery from childhood trauma.

Are you wrestling with difficult feelings, life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, spiritual/religious issues, substance abuse, or trauma? If so, I'm here to help. Providing therapy has been my life's work for 30 years. I treasure working with adults to help them grow and find joy and meaning in life.

Greetings! My personal ambition is to help people navigate through a world that sometimes feels out of control, and to help them grow confidence and mastery in coping with their feelings and circumstances. Although I've practiced in the City of Green since 2003, I am branching out, as a PsyPact-approved psychologist, to reach those in underserved areas of the country.

Life tends to bring about a set of challenges that can be difficult to manage without the right tools. Identifying the right people just to share your story with and get wise counsel can be even more challenging. Are you depressed, anxious, confused about your purpose and goals for your life or just flat out need someone to talk to...I’m here. I believe that everyone is born with the innate ability to thrive and persevere regardless of what the circumstances say. Have faith in yourself, acknowledge that inner strength, take one small step at a time and see results manifest in due time. Seeking help means you are almost there!

Making the first call is sometimes the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I commend you for your strength and courage in seeking help. One of the most important steps of pursuing counseling is finding a passionate, knowledgeable, and trusting therapist that you feel comfortable with. One that will sit with you through your difficult moments and help you to recognize or remind you of your strength. If a mood disorder is taking control of your life, I can help you to learn how to manage it. ​If you are experiencing challenges with your significant other(s) I can help you to improve the connection, understanding, and intimacy.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, or have daily life challenges, I am here to help you learn how to be your best self! Life presents many challenges and never be afraid to ask for help. Many children and adults have struggled due to social isolation, due to COVID. Many of my current clients have struggled with addiction, depression, and anxiety because of past trauma. It may be sexual abuse as a child, witnessing violence, being involved in an accident, struggling just to get out of bed for the day. Don't give up on yourself, you deserve to live your best life. Just remember today is the day!

Seeking help is an act of bravery that deserves an environment of trust and acceptance. I work to create a safe, welcoming space that encourages healing and positive change. If you are experiencing the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or other emotional concerns, I can help guide you through identifying and achieving your goals.

Accepting New Clients. Do you want to feel happier? What drew me into counseling was wanting to help others find value within themselves and to offer support during difficult times. My goal is to create a safe environment that involves trust, encouragement of personal growth, a sense of calmness, but also room for laughter and joy!

Accepting new clients: Online sessions (across the state of OH) and in-person Dayton location (Mondays/Tuesdays/Fridays) and Columbus location (Wednesdays). The state of our relationships has a major impact on our general wellbeing. If you are struggling with a relationship issue, experiencing anxiety, loss, change, sadness, anger, trauma, sexual challenges, or any number of struggles, I am here to support. I believe that therapy should include heart and humor when possible, and that every person has the ability to make changes in their life.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor I look forward to working with you on your journey to overcome whatever struggles or challenges you may be dealing with. I can help you explore your feelings and we will work together to learn new coping skills, positive ways to adapt, and manage stressors that are a part of our ever-changing, busy lives. I look forward to working with you through your journey!

I focus on relationships–with your significant other, family, friends, work, and even yourself. My passion & best work is with those facing life’s difficulties far too long, physically & emotionally drained, and feeling there’s no way out of the storm. You’re everything to everyone, always busy while feeling like you’re getting nowhere; all while looking like you have it all together. It’s overwhelming. You may never feel good enough. You may not find time to take care of yourself…or feel guilty when you do. That’s where I come in, to help you put yourself as an individual or as a couple first and find calm in the chaos.

As a Clinical Psychologist, my specialties are anxiety and anti-anxiety training , depression and anti-depression training, OCD, relationship training and coaching for individuals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is my main method and is a very learner friendly set of skills. Whatever method used, healing old wounds releases new energy for learning the skills needed to overcome old habits that interfere with the best we can be. Building and learning mindfulness skills and a new awareness is a part of CBT.

My ideal client would present solution-focused with a desire to gain insight and understanding of presenting symptomatically and how those symptoms manifested. Their issues, regardless of being situational or organic, should be addressed directly with kindness and acceptance without judgement. The need should be to not only identify and address their current symptoms but also to work towards a more profound understanding of why such symptoms are present and how to create an opportunity for change. The goal should support a progressive change to improve quality of life.

The most important relationship you have is the one with yourself. We all have a story. Telling your story to an attuned listener can be transformational. Healing is a collaborative endeavor. As you share your experiences and I listen, you can become more connected to yourself. I work best with clients looking to address symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, and parenting problems. I believe digging deep into ourselves and learning how our early relationships in life impact our present coping strategies and feelings can help us move towards the future we want.
