I have worked in the practice of psychotherapy for over 40 years in Ohio, seeing a cross section of individuals suffering from mild to severe levels of anxiety and depression. These include persons dealing with traumatic memories, bipolar mood swings, chronic pain, and social avoidance. I am the founder of S.U.C.C.E.S.S. education (Skills Used Coping, Communicating Effectively, Strengthening Self-confidence).

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I begin with a relaxed picture of what one's life is like in the current time frame, of who else is pictured in that same frame, of how this picture is different from that of one's past, and working toward.....in the second visit.....what one prefers life to be like in within the frame of one's own future.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My clients often enter therapy having faith in fear and doubt in love. They often leave therapy having faith in love and doubt in fear. Love is formed through accurate understanding of one's own greatest strengths. Fear is formed through misunderstanding and by a false stories by which we live out others' expectations and wrong assumptions. Transformation from fear to love involves the creation of true stories of strength that challenge those wrong assumptions we've received from others.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Anxiety, Trauma, Depression....unipolar and bipolar, Grief, Relational conflicts, Geriatric issues, Addictions

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I help people learn healthy responses as backup for their initial stress-reactions by activating their (rational) brain's frontal lobe in response to their (emotional) brain's limbic reactivity.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Prior to use of CBT, it is sometimes helpful to learn mindfulness activities toward the goal of living in the safety / security of the present moment so we can go about visiting the past or visiting the future for shorter periods of time in order for our minds to better live in the present (where our bodies are always living).
