Grief Therapists in Cincinnati, OH

Be Our Fortunes As They May, Touched With Loss Or Sorrow; Saddest Eyes that Weep Today, May Be Glad Tomorrow - James Whitcomb Riley's words of pain also offer hope; they were engraved on a plaque in the hallway outside my room as I grew up. Grief, loss, anxiety, depression, work difficulties, relationship issues, & the 'all the things' may be here for the moment but don't have to be here for always. I'm eager to meet with you & consider together the steps to moving toward better, more joyful days. With skills, techniques, & evidence-based/proven theories of care, we have hope for the growth & healing that changes our future.

Like so many of us, life has had some unexpected twists and turns. Whether you are grieving, sensing a growing distance with your spouse, having trouble taking care of your family, struggling to form meaningful relationships, recovering from a divorce or break up, unsure how to help your adult children, experiencing mood swings, struggling with work or school, relocating, struggling with pregnancy or learning that being a mom or dad is a lot harder than you imagined, I can help you feel less overwhelmed and more fulfilled. My goal is to help you feel better by providing direct, honest, respectful, and supportive feedback.

I have worked with young adults (college-age to late 20s) throughout the duration of my career and very much enjoy helping navigate both common and unique challenges of this phase of life. I also work with individuals struggling to manage their reactions to losses, whether it be the death of a loved one, an end to a relationship, the loss of a job etc. If you feel that you should be "over it" by now or you had a complicated or unhealthy relationship with a lost person, you may benefit from diving deeper into what has been triggered in order to heal.

CURRENTLY TAKING NEW PATIENTS We all desire and deserve to be healthy. Therefore, I strive to provide psychotherapy treatment for individuals, couples, and families who are looking for assistance with a wide range of problems. The most common difficulties people who have sought my help are for depression, anxiety, stress, obsessive compulsive disorder, academic problems, work-related problems, and family or marital conflict. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and young adults. I also have specialized experience with patients who are suffering from addictions, as well as complicated grief.

Most of us will experience significant loss, grief, trauma, and mental distress at some point; however, we often feel that we have to go through it alone. While our world stops, everyone else seems to continue moving, and that can feel isolating and overwhelming. Whether you just need someone to be with you and listen with empathy and without judgment, are looking to learn skills to feel back in control of your mental well-being, or want to grow to improve your relationship with yourself and others, my hope is to provide these to you in a safe and inviting environment.

Psychotherapy is not only about relieving mental distress. It is also about increasing resilience, wholeness, wellness, and improving relationships. I believe the therapist's job is to offer a safe place for healing - a place where an individual, couple, or family can be listened to with skill and respect. In the process of establishing a safe relationship and setting realistic goals, people grow and change according to their abilities. People are the "experts" of their own lives. I believe in the interdependence of the generations in families and in the human community.

So often we experience stressors and losses in our lives. Often these are due to changes and transitions in life and sometimes it’s after the loss of a loved one. Adjusting to those shifts can often be challenging. I hope we can work together to find the healthiest journey for you. Each person's life path is unlike anyone else's. This might be the first step in your unique journey to reach out for support and guidance.

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Ohio. I studied counseling because I wanted to help others maintain their mental wellness and regain their mental health during difficult times. I focus on helping immigrants who are adapting to living in a new culture and are struggling being away from home. I offer support to clients that are experiencing grief. I also work with individuals and couples who are living or exploring polyamory/consensual non-monogamy.

Life can have its challenges and often cause us to feel distressed and unbalanced. You may have hoped with time, things would somehow get back to a place where you could feel good about life, but the loss, the pain, the struggle has been too great. You may have discovered that after an intense battle with depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma, time is not the only thing you need to heal. Yet, time has come to serve you. It is in this moment you have chosen to face your fears, overcome your challenges, and adopt tools which will help you to find peace and balance. Today, you begin your journey toward wellbeing.

This might be a particularly rough time in your life and you don't know which way is up. Maybe you want to find out what direction in life you truly want to be headed. Your mind may be going a mile a minute. Mental health challenges can look like many different things, but you're still the expert on your own experience; You deserve a moment to chart your own course.

Meeting with a counselor requires a lot of courage, so I have great respect for anyone who wants to start that journey. I will provide a non-judgmental space for you to identify your areas of concern and ultimately what you hope to change. Our goal is to build awareness together, so that you can make different choices instead of automatically doing the same things that no longer support you. We will work together to help you pay greater attention to your mind and body processes (i.e., a holistic approach) to facilitate a deeper connection with yourself and others.
