As a seasoned therapist in Ohio with over four decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients address relationship dynamics, family and marital conflicts, grief, and personal growth. I bring deep expertise in supporting older adults, men's issues, and individuals experiencing midlife transitions. I am also skilled in helping clients navigate spiritual and metaphysical issues.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and holistic, addressing challenges such as self-esteem, communication difficulties, attachment issues, and life purpose exploration. I am trained in family systems therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and rational emotive therapy (RET). I am currently in training to become an approved EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapist and can discuss with you your interest in exploring that mode of therapy. I have extensive experience supporting clients through significant life events like death of a loved one, divorce, separation, career struggles, and end-of-life transitions. My work centers on creating meaningful, supportive spaces where individuals can heal, reconnect with themselves, others, and develop healthier relational patterns.
I am committed to walking alongside my clients, offering guidance rooted in empathy, understanding, and professional insight. Whether you're struggling with trauma, codependency, family dynamics, or seeking personal transformation, I provide a supportive environment for meaningful growth and healing.

Tim is an excellent therapist who has helped me immensely in a very short period of time. He is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate.
