IMFT, 14 years of experience
Welcome! I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) licensed in Ohio and Indiana. I received my Master's degree from Liberty University in 2011 and have been practicing for the past 12 years. My focus is relationship therapy, but I have journeyed with a wide variety of people, from adolescents to the elderlI entered this field later in life and it has gifted me the privilege of a broad perspective allowing me to embrace your perspective with dignity and grace.
In our first session, we will have a conversation. I will learn about you and you will be free to ask questions about me. As we set the tone of discovery, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve from our time together. At the end of our first session, we will have a general plan that we will review during the next session.
I entered this field later in life and it has gifted me the privilege of a broad perspective allowing me to embrace your perspective with dignity and grace.
The clients who have the greatest success journeying with me are courageous. They are open and honest with themselves. They come ready and willing to explore their strengths and well as their areas to improve. When they get stuck, they do not abandon the journey. They stay with it one step at a time. In the end, they embrace their transformation.

I originally chose Teddy as our couples therapist and he was exceptionally helpful in that department. However, due to schedule changes, my partner was no longer able to attend the sessions. Teddy and I have continued to work together on my individual therapy. He has helped me understand my mental health so much, and has also given me so much helpful information on changes I can make to continue bettering myself. I look forward to our sessions every week. I wouldn’t trade him for anyone else!

In today's session, Mr. Teddy was a good listener, non-bias, objective, and appeared to be interested in taking on a difficult task ... our marriage. Which is filled with hurt and challenges from the past. We are looking forward to our next session, with Mr. Teddy
On our journey together, DBT gives us insight into how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. With practice, clients discover why they do what they do, decide if that is the outcome they want, and make changes to achieve the outcomes they desire.
Drs. John and Julie Gottman are two of the most well-respected practitioners in relationship counseling. It has been said Dr. John Gottman can predict if a couple will divorce with about 94% accuracy. As a facilitator of Gottman's The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, I am confident we can improve your relationship satisfaction.
As a Graduate of Liberty University's MFT program, I have a strong biblical worldview with a solid background in the many theoretical schools of therapy. Our journey will be a wonderfully powerful connection of theology and therapy that will utilize your Christian principles to help strengthen your mental health.
As a person of color, cultural sensitivity is a special area of interest. With post-graduate certificates in MFT and Couples disciplines, I am uniquely qualified to journey with couples who are people of color, in interracial relationships, in intercultural relationships, or have identified other cultural issues as challenging to the relationship.
