Do you feel connected and passionate within yourself? With your partner? My professional focus is in helping individuals and couples develop deeply connected, intimate and vibrant relationships with their partner and within themselves. I have found that a committed couple can often work through hurt, misunderstanding, and loneliness to find a relationship that feels safe, loving, and deeply engaged. I work in an open, encouraging, and emotionally attuned style that respects each partner's experience, which can then help to dissolve painful, disconnecting cycles and develop new enlivening, loving, and connected ways of relating.

Do you struggle with unmanageable emotions, self criticism, burnout, relationship problems, or pain related to physical ailments? Perhaps you are feeling stuck, or like your best is not good enough. Maybe you are seeking guidance to help meet your goals. I am dedicated to supporting your journey home - to yourself. This journey of life is not about arriving anywhere specific but more about acquiring awareness and tools to support you on your path. The therapeutic connection I offer supports the uncovering of whatever isn’t you so that your most authentic, joyful self can emerge and thrive.

I view psychotherapy as a process of growth that occurs both through self-exploration and experiential learning. Within that process, I strive to create a compassionate, receptive, and responsive therapeutic environment that promotes reflection, understanding, and change. Through creating an atmosphere that balances safety and challenge, I encourage people to face and overcome their distress, as opposed to adopting coping strategies which often perpetuate feelings of being stuck. Through this process of discovery, life becomes more satisfying when you gain more influence over how you experience yourself, others, and the world.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+. My goal is to empower and advocate for positive change within you, as the individual, and the system as a whole. The place that we will create together is a safe and judgement free space. I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

My goal is to help my clients identify what they most want in their lives and assist them in building the directed motivation, emotional strength and skills needed to achieve those goals. I am passionate about developing strong individuals and families to enable them to reach their highest level of purpose, passion, and functioning. You may be ready to jump in or need to more fully understand your past, present, or future goals before you can move forward. Wherever you are, I will meet you there.

I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples who are seeking to better understand how their relationships and emotional reactions are shaped by their experiences.

Building a trusting, collaborative relationship is at the forefront of my work, though I’m aware this looks differently with each of my clients. I see the process of change as occurring in the context of relationships and through exploration of patterns that may be preventing one from living a fulfilling life. Through the discovery of these patterns, we can begin to understand how to live life more genuinely. I am a relational and psychodynamic therapist who incorporates various therapeutic approaches and interventions, including cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques.

As a clinical psychologist in Cincinnati, Ohio, I enjoy maintaining a small private practice specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), PTSD, anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, relationship issues, men's issues, and weight loss counseling. I purposefully keep my practice small to maintain direct contact with clients and provide personal, specialized care. I believe strongly that people can change through therapy and will work with you to make changes within yourself and in your life. I focus on providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment to help people change.

Pain and, often, trauma are a normal part of our humanity. Unless there is healing, the pain and/or trauma leave wounds that accompany us throughout our lives. It is my belief and experience these wounds can be healed. I’ve encountered personal healing and have had the privilege of facilitating the healing of others. As wounds heal, our true Self is able to expand, grow and awaken into its true nature, allowing us to live happier, freer and more peaceful.

I have experience working with all types of anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and complex trauma. My secondary specialties include severe chronic mental illness, relationship problems, recovery from previous domestic violence, LTGBQ+ concerns, self-harm, and developmental or attachment wounds from childhood. I continue to take continuing education classes to improve my knowledge and skills in these areas. I especially enjoy working with clients motivated to improve their lives and willing to take responsibility for their success rather than expecting others to do their work.
