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 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.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
