You don't have to be good at talking about feelings to start therapy.

I work with adults who may feel stressed, stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure what needs to change-but know they don't want to keep going the way they have been. I especially enjoy working with men navigating relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, major life changes, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together.

I have 10 years of experience working in mental health. My style is warm, holistic and collaborative with plenty of humor along the way. Therapy with me is a place to be honest about what isn't working, understand yourself better, and start making changes that actually fit your life.

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.
