Hello & Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a Ph.D. in Counseling, along with graduate training in both counseling and theology.
I work with men (gay, straight, bi, and curious) as they navigate identity, faith, mental health and vocation.
Over the years, I’ve worked as a therapist, college professor/administrator, coach, and educator, and that range of experience has shaped the way I approach counseling: with curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for the complexity of each person’s story. I work with men (gay, straight, bi, and curious) as they navigate identity, faith and vocation.
I approach to counseling and therapy is that we're all striving to connect with our whole or "essence" self that resides within us. I see myself as a facilitator of that change. I am a holistic and trauma-informed therapist with some twenty-five years' experience.
Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Cincinnati
Searching for couples therapists in Cincinnati starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling may support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. As you compare Cincinnati marriage counselors, look for therapists with training that matches your needs. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, may be strong fits for relationship-focused care.
In a mid-size market like Cincinnati, you may find local therapists with offices near areas like downtown, Clifton, Hyde Park, or surrounding neighborhoods, along with virtual options across Ohio. The right match also needs to work for both partners’ schedules, preferences, and goals. Review appointment availability, session format, therapy approach, and whether a therapist offers a brief phone consultation. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their work with couples and what a first session may look like.
Couples therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, check whether your plan is accepted, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can browse couples therapy in Cincinnati, Ohio, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
