In Person Therapists in Mount Washington, Cincinnati, OH

I believe that counseling doesn't come with a manual or a "cookie-cutter" approach. You are a person with feelings and thoughts unique to your own concerns and issues. I don't approach our counseling relationship based on your diagnosis or societal labels. I try to assist according to how you see your world and recognize that we all make different choices. We don't have to be held captive to a mental illness and I will help you try to find the "keys to those locks".

Sometimes life is hard. Do you find yourself struggling to find your way? Maybe trauma, depression, anxiety, a major mental illness or a substance use disorder is standing in your way to a comfortable, successful life.

I am here to empower you to do just that; discover your strengths and your way to creating or recapturing the healthy life you deserve.

My passion and expertise is in the treatment of trauma, specifically relational trauma. With the demands that Western society places on our time and energy to just meet basic survival needs, we have not been taught or experienced authentic and healthy relationships with others or ourselves. We will work together to identify your triggers or "stuck" points, and from there work with the mind and body to alter neuro-connections to create a different perspective and emotional experience. I utilize EMDR and traditional therapy and believe the path to healing is through strengthening adaptive connections with others and ourselves.

If you have ADHD or ADHD adjacent concerns (i.e. OCD, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues), you might find life events to be incredibly overwhelming (even simple work tasks and chores).

You might find that you're procrastinating, losing track of appointments, and forgetting things you should remember. In cases like this, it’s easy to feel stuck, lost, or helpless.
