I view counseling as a dynamic process that looks different for every client. Seeking counseling takes courage, and I do everything I can to make sure my clients feel safe, respected, and understood from the very first session. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of successful outcomes, so I encourage you to take your time finding the right fit — whether that’s with me or someone else.
I am a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) in Ohio and a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in Texas. In-person counseling is based out of my Dublin, Ohio office. I also offer telehealth counseling to clients located in Texas. If you’re outside Ohio or Texas, my coaching services are available nationwide — visit that page to understand the difference between counseling and coaching.
Individual Counseling
I specialize in teen counseling (ages 12–18) and young/middle-aged adult counseling (ages 18–35). While I see clients with a wide range of presenting concerns, a major focus of my Ohio practice is addiction and the psychological patterns that drive it. I believe strongly in individualizing each client’s treatment — treating the person, not the diagnosis. Instead of treating “addiction” in the abstract, I want to understand what your addiction feels like, specifically.
I work from an eclectic blend of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral approaches. I help individuals navigating Asperger’s/autism spectrum concerns, Failure to Launch, ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, career transitions, bullying, and broader life/existential issues.
Family Counseling
Family counseling is a core part of how I work with adolescents and young adults, including my Failure to Launch clients. I view the family as a system — when one member struggles, the whole system usually needs to adjust. I help parents feel more empowered at home by building structure and clearer communication, while also helping their children understand what’s underneath the behavior that’s causing conflict. The goal is a family that communicates more effectively and connects on a more genuine level.
