More about Tim

- LISW
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 have extensive experience supporting clients through significant life events like death of a loved one, divorce, separation, and end-of-life transitions. I have been trained in Induced After Death Communication (IADC) which is a form of grief therapy for those having difficulty adjusting to the loss of a loved one. 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.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
