Therapy is about Exceeding Expectations
One Patient at a Time
Here’s a space that focuses on your needs.
Taking the first step to seek help can be difficult for many reasons, including concerns about privacy and confidentiality. It’s also the beginning of the process that can lead to a better life, which is possible for all of us.
My office features a comfortable waiting area, located away from the main hallway, with complimentary drinks and snacks available for you. There are no forms to fill out before our first meeting.
Therapy is confidential and private, something I take very seriously. Clients often gain benefits from being able to discuss things in session that they would not have been able to say out loud otherwise. I offer an unconditional and encouraging environment for that.
There are no barriers between us as we speak, and I believe that whatever you think is relevant to tell me about your life is essential for me to hear.
My approach is specific to your needs.
I understand the hurt caused by anxiety, depression, couples’ issues, and trauma, and my approach to therapy is client-centered.
When working with a client, I strive to find the most effective treatment tailored to each individual’s needs. I accomplish this by seeking feedback from my clients and actually applying it.
Most often, I offer suggestions for actions to take between sessions, with the intention of changing behavior to improve daily functioning.
About Me
For 19 years, I have worked with diverse populations.
My work has involved military veterans and first responders, the homeless, severely mentally ill, those suffering with addictions, including sexual and pornography, and personality disorders.
My primary focus involves engaging with men and supporting the therapeutic process from a male perspective, but I have also had success working with women.
Throughout my career, I have sought training in several modalities of therapy and utilize techniques that work best for each individual.
Being a therapist requires training.
In 1997, I received a B.A. in Political Science from Allegheny College. Later in 2008, I received a Master’s of Social Work from The Ohio State University.
In 2017, I also received a Master’s of Science in Healthcare Administration from Ohio Dominican University.
Sports play a significant role in my life.
I am an avid sports fan. I grew up playing various sports, including football and rugby, in college.
Currently, I play a lot of golf and enjoy working with and cheering for my son, who plays Little League Baseball. I speak often with my two adult children, who are both out of college and learning how to navigate their adult lives.
I greatly enjoy my work as a helping professional working to improve the lives of people who are struggling. My lifelong involvement in competitive sports has instilled in me the desire to work hard and achieve success.
My idea of success with you is seeing you reach your goals and improve your life. Please reach out, and let’s get the process started. You’ll be surprised how much better you’ll feel.
