Success Comes with Its Own Challenges

Many of my clients have given too much to work. They believe they've done everything right—they went to college, got married, had kids—and yet, they're still not fulfilled. They did things in the "right order," but something's still missing. Remember, you don't become an attorney just because you had a nice childhood. Success comes with its own unique set of challenges, and it's okay to seek help in navigating them.

At my practice, I embrace a comprehensive strategy to nurture resilience and address life's challenges. My methods are rooted in the latest understanding of neurobiology, stress, and trauma, allowing me to tackle your concerns from multiple angles. Therefore I offer a range of evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs in Ohio:

I specialize in providing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR can be a powerful tool helps process difficult experiences linked to current struggles, allowing you to find peace and safety within yourself and help your body release what it has been holding onto.

I utilize Ego State Therapy in my practice. By exploring different aspects of your personality, we can help you understand and integrate various parts of yourself, leading to greater internal harmony and reduced conflict between different aspects of your psyche.

I work from a polyvagal theory approach. By using techniques that target the vagus nerve and promote states of safety, these approaches can help clients reduce hypervigilance, improve emotional regulation, and cultivate a greater sense of calm and balance in their daily lives.

Trauma-informed care is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with stress, burnout, and perfectionism as it acknowledges that past experiences can significantly influence current behaviors and thought patterns. By creating a safe and supportive environment, this approach allows clients to explore and address underlying trauma that may be contributing to their stress and perfectionist tendencies, ultimately leading to more effective healing and personal growth.

Many people who struggle with stress, burn out, and anxiety benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). For those struggling with sleep issues, unhelpful habits, and anxiety this specialized form of CBT can help restore healthy sleep patterns and improve overall well-being and change your mindset about falling asleep.

Mindfulness-based techniques can be particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with stress, burnout, and perfectionism by helping them cultivate present-moment awareness and non-judgmental acceptance of their experiences. These practices allow people to step back from their racing thoughts and overwhelming emotions, creating space to respond to challenges more calmly and intentionally, rather than reacting automatically based on ingrained patterns of stress or perfectionism.

My goal is to help you build resilience, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier patterns of thinking and behaving. Through these approaches, we aim to guide you towards a more balanced, fulfilling life where you can face challenges with confidence and inner strength.

Finding Clarity in the Chaos

When you're grappling with a specific issue, it can be challenging to see the bigger picture. That's why we've relied on family, friends, teachers, coaches, and mentors throughout our lives—we're not meant to figure it all out on our own. The belief that you should have all the answers is often what keeps you feeling stuck.
