About My Clients
Are you wrestling with difficult times in your life? Do you feel uptight, worried, down and that your life is stuck? Do you need to address difficult feelings, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, substance abuse, grief, aging issues and spiritual or religious issues? If you need new directions in your life NOW, I would be honored to work with you. My motto is that: "People Recover. Treatment works." You are not alone and I am here to help.
My Background and Approach
My life's passion is helping people work through difficult changes and feelings. In addition to thirty years of providing therapy, I am also an award winning teacher at Ohio State Univeristy where I teach new therapists and social workers who are pursuing their goals of being therapists. I have skills with many personal issues, and specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, life transition grief, relationship issues, senior issues, difficult feelings and substance abuse. My approach is based on empathy and support, and I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Gestalt therapy and other models of counseling.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
First of all, I believe that compassion, warmth and new ideas can help you make changes in your life. I believe that anyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I am non-judgmental, open and skilled at helping people make these changes in their lives. You can do this. I believe in you and your potential. Life can feel vulnerable, but the heart is resilient little muscle. You have strengths within you and together, you can find hope. You will find hope.
