Therapists in Bath, OH

Feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Looking to make changes but not sure how to move forward? Perhaps I can help. My experience working in business, healthcare, college counseling, and mental health has given me a range of skills and the ability to work with issues related to adolescents and adults dealing with life transitions. My role as a counselor is to empower clients so they can move forward. Depending on the situation, my approach ranges from a gentle nudge to direct suggestions. I specialize in working with students, adult clients, adults with perfectionist thinking and ADHD, and high functioning autism. LGBTQ+ friendly.

I honor all individuals who have chosen to embark on a journey of self-improvement. Therapy can be a tremendously rewarding and enlightening experience leading to life-long changes in thoughts, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. We will work together to develop several short-term, specific, measurable, action-oriented, and realistic goals. I view myself as the expert on human behavior and an agent to facilitate change. But, as a team, I rely on you as the expert on your life and to give me feedback on what is or is not working for you. Together, we move toward your goals.

As a therapist in the Insight Clinical Counseling and Wellness group, my goal is to help clients become their authentic selves. I utilize an integratve therapeutic process, incorporating trans- and gender-affirming therapy; mindfulness meditation training; poetry therapy and journaling; motivational interviewing; CBT; existential concerns, spirituality and religion. Starting 2/2/24, I will be offering a Writing for Wellness group for adults with autoimmune disorders and cancer. If interested please call!

Welcome! You can expect a down-to-earth approach as we navigate daily life and reduce distress. I believe suffering is a natural response to life's difficulties and, thus, work through a non-pathologizing lens. Experienced in treating couples, adults, and teens 16+ with feelings of depression and anxiety—as well as issues related to relationships, grief and loss, sexuality and identity, trauma, stress management, and life transitions. Therapy is individualized for each client to support reaching a version of self that aligns with their unique values and objectives.

Difficulty navigating relationships is normal in time of life transition and stress. Change can be uncomfortable- worsening anxiety, anger, depression and problems in relationships. Change is inevitable and can be very uncomfortable but often leads to increased health, happiness and life satisfaction.

I am motivated to meet my clients where they are and support them on their own unique path to self exploration and discovery. I approach therapy with a focus on promoting positive awareness into life circumstances to aid clients in discovering the value, meaning and purpose in their lives. I believe that life’s greatest victories are achieved from finding the meaning of our considered greatest defeats. My ideal client is someone that is motivated, bright and self-reflective. They would be going through a particular challenge that can be defined and surmountable.
