Services and Resources

I offer thoughtful, collaborative and effective counseling services for adults in my private office located in Columbus, Ohio and through a secure telehealth service. I am licensed to practice in Ohio and anticipate being licensed in 30-38 additional state in early2025. I provide individual and couples therapy, and Discernment Counseling services. I also offer consulting and professional training services for Discernment Counseling practitioners. I am available for speaking engagements and customized training events and workshops.

What I Offer

Would you be interested in utilizing my services? I understand that every individual is unique, and therefore I tailor my therapeutic approach to address the specific needs of my clients. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, or any other issue, I can assist you in identifying underlying problems, recognizing your strengths, and modifying certain behaviors and thought patterns to achieve a healthier perspective.

Individual Therapy


I offer individual counseling sessions for adults wanting to address issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and trauma. I enjoy working with people experiencing significant life transitions like moving into or out of relationships, changing careers or work environments, starting a family, preparing for an empty nest, facing a serious health challenge or dealing with the loss of a loved one. I enjoy helping clients make the sustainable and positive changes they long for. I offer traditional hourly sessions and multi-hour intensives in my private office or via secure online video sessions.

Couples Therapy


Relationships can be life-giving, beautiful and challenging. Whether you are dating and considering marriage, married and experiencing some difficulty, dealing with infidelity or contemplating a divorce, I can help. I love coming alongside couples to strengthen their relationships and recover from distress. I offer traditional hourly sessions, 90–120-minute sessions, and longer multiple-hour intensives for couples in my private office or via secure video sessions.

Discernment Counseling

If you or your spouse is considering divorce but not completely sure if it is the best path, Discernment Counseling might be right for you. This website is dedicated to this service and contains helpful information for couples seeking care and for professionals wanting to be better equipped to serve them at such a critical time in their lives.

Training and Case Consultation for Professionals

I offer 1-2 and 3-hour training sessions on Discernment Counseling for professionals and a new Marital First Responders workshop for anyone who finds themselves in the role of a trusted confident when a friend or family member has a marital crisis or concern. I offer professional case consultation services to Discernment Counselors individually and in small groups. If you are interested in case consultation, please contact me. Finally, I am available to develop customized workshops and presentations for your organization. Click here for more information about training or speaking engagement.
