Benefits of Working with an Online Therapist in Ohio
If you have an inner critic that bullies you, or you feel like there is a weight on your heart, or a pit in your stomach, I'm so glad you found me!
It sucks to live life "in your head" - I know this from my work and it's how I'm biologically wired. I've spent decades fighting this experience not knowing how to apply theories and concepts into my day to day life. I would tell myself that "therapy doesn't work." Then I discovered a toolkit that changed my life and I want to share those tools with you!
We don't speak in terms of right or wrong, good or bad. There is not judgment, finger pointing, and I don't play the blame game. Together, we wash all the windows into your life so your reality is crystal clear. You decide what works well and what's problematic and you learn how to accept it, or change it, or repair it. Simply put, you learn what to do to make your life work for you and stop suffering and limping through your life.
Think of it as a gym for the brain, where we work together to enhance your emotional intelligence and self-regulation.

Q: What is evidence-based treatment?
A: We use a blend of proven approaches—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and Attachment Theory—to help clients build lasting skills. Whether you're navigating anxiety, communication breakdowns, or relationship struggles, our sessions are practical, supportive, and focused on real results that hold up over time.Q: What's it like in a session?
A: Sessions are held virtually, in the comfort and privacy of your own space. You’ll find a nonjudgmental, no-blame environment where nothing is off-limits. It’s a safe place to explore your thoughts, relationships, and emotions—while learning practical tools to shift how you experience yourself, others, and the world around you.Q: Do you treat the LGBTQ+ population?
A: I’m a proud ally who recognizes that gender identity and sexual orientation are biologically wired, not choices, phases, or moral issues.
I don’t separate LGBTQ+ clients into a special category because I treat everyone - transgender men and women, non-binary, same-sex and polyamorous couples, straight and cisgender individuals - with the same respect, care, and clinical focus.
Human diversity isn’t something to tolerate, but rather it’s something to honor. I’m grateful every day for the richness my clients bring to this work.
