ABOUT ME
Exceeding Expectations One Patient at a Time
In Columbus and around Ohio
You never know until you try. - I understand the hurt caused by anxiety, depression, couples' issues and trauma and my approach to therapy is client-centered. I work to find the most-effective treatment for each individual. I accomplish this by seeking feedback from my clients and applying it. Most often, I offer suggestions for actions to take between sessions, with the goal of changing behaviors in order to improve daily functioning. Clients also often gain benefit from being able to talk about things in session that they otherwise would not have been able to say out loud. I offer an unconditional environment for that.
I have 18 years of experience, working with many different populations. I have worked with military veterans and first responders, homeless, severely mentally ill, those with addictions, including sexual and pornography, and personality disorders. I focus mainly on engaging with men and supporting the therapeutic process from a man's perspective, but have had success working with women as well. I have attended trainings for several modalities of therapy and utilize what works for each person specifically.
Taking the first step to getting help is difficult, for many reasons, including privacy. It's also the beginning of the process that can lead to a better life, and is possible for all of us. Therapy is confidential and private. Reach out, and let's get that process started. You'll be surprised how much better you'll feel.
