Welcome. If you are an adult or adolescent in Ohio feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I provide a safe, collaborative space for your mental health journey. I see you as a whole person, not a list of symptoms. Typically, individuals seek psychiatric care when coping mechanisms are no longer enough for persistent anxiety, depression, stress, or mood disorders. Together, we start with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your history and goals. If chosen, medication management is introduced thoughtfully at conservative doses and paired with supportive tools to help you build real-world skills and truly thrive.

Tired of feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or anxious? Do you find yourself overthinking or worrying about any and everything? Do you experience a rapid heart beat, sweaty palms, dry mouth and shaking? Feeling on edge, irritable or tense? All these things keep you from enjoying your life. They hold you back in your career or in relationships or other areas of life. You want to feel at ease and less stressed out. You want to go after what you want without second guessing yourself.


I help client's develop life-changing habits that allow them to cope with any of life’s various obstacles that provokes anxiety. During therapy sessions we will work together to identify goals and map out a plan to reach those goals. You'll receive tools that you can start using today and the validation and care that you deserve.


You will find a supportive, non judgmental, safe space to share. Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation so I can answer any questions you have before we get started.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Perrysburg, OH


Hey, I'm Phil! I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and free to show up as yourself. I support adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, identity, and challenges with food, body image, and self-worth. I'm passionate about LGBTQ+ affirming care and helping people build a healthier relationship with themselves.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. We'll explore what's beneath the surface, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop tools that fit your life. Therapy doesn't have to feel like a clinical interrogation. You can expect genuine conversation, curiosity, and support as we work toward meaningful change together.
