Psychodynamic Therapists in Toronto, OH

Taking the first step to begin finding help can be tough, and finding a therapist who is a good fit for you can be even tougher! I believe therapy should be a collaboration and an opportunity for you to feel understood, gaining tools and experiences to help you lead a more fulfilling life that is full of freedom. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, the hardships that come with life's inconsistency, or something else, I believe that there is hope for a better life. Our work may be challenging at times, but my goal is to walk with you, helping you along the way.

Finding a therapist you can trust is tough! The best way to get a feel for what working together might look like is to give me a call. We can explore what our work together might look like and you can get a feel for my style and therapeutic approach. My hope is always to collaborate with you, to better understand your experience and to empower you to make changes in ways that bring freedom and change. Therapy is never easy, but it can be one of the most important investments you can make in your life, and your future.

Our therapists use an empirically-based practice approach, bringing the best research-backed therapies to bear on the unique circumstances and preferences of our clients. Our therapists are trained in empirically-supported treatments for trauma (PTSD), addiction, stress, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. Our therapists work with you collaboratively to identify the goals that are most important to you and determine the treatment approach that will best help you achieve them.

The process of committing to therapy can seem daunting. Adding to an already busy calendar and finding a therapist you can trust is all too overwhelming. Questions also arise: Are my problems too big to handle? And will it even be worth it? My commitment to you is to ease this process. Therapy is not a one size fits all. Instead, I view therapy as a collaboration between therapist and client, meeting you were you are at to help you gain a deeper understanding of your experience and make lasting change. Ultimately, you are the expert of your life and I consider it the highest of privileges to be trusted with your personal experience.

Life is inevitably painful, and none of us make it through without incurring some wounds along the way. Some wounds are fresh, reflective of present life circumstances – a recent loss, strained relationship, a multitude of stress and worries. Other wounds are old and have been carried a long time, rooted in past experiences and impacting us today through ongoing patterns of behavior and ways of relating to self and others. Left unattended, these wounds (new or old) may lead to a number of distressing symptoms and much suffering. Like physical wounds, emotional wounds need to be seen and acknowledged, cleaned and dressed to heal.
