Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Dayton, OH

Finding the “right fit” in therapy can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Healing is possible, and it shouldn't take a lifetime to get there! My primary focus is to create a safe and supportive space while promoting individual and/or posttraumatic growth. My goal is to empower you to share your stories and encourage healing from those experiences, by using a combination of deep listening, CBT/DBT, narrative exposure therapy and other evidence-based modalities for profound and lasting change.

Many people find it helpful at some time in their lives to work with a counselor to explore ways of participating in life more fully. The demands of everyday life, grief, loss, or life transitions can all contribute to feelings of depression, anxiety or inadequacy. Working with a skilled counselor in a supportive, non-judgmental environment can help individuals identify and use their unique strengths to develop in areas which were previously problematic. I take a holistic view of the individual, believing that to be effective, counseling must address thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
